How it works

The cleanser is formulated to transform from a gel into a milk upon application, which helps in gently lifting impurities from the skin. Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride act as emollients, providing moisture and helping to maintain the skin's barrier. Glycerin is a humectant that draws moisture into the skin, ensuring it stays hydrated. Sucrose Laurate and Sucrose Stearate enable the formulation to cleanse by acting as surfactants and emulsifiers, aiding in the removal of makeup and sunscreen. Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract and Bisabolol are included for their skin conditioning and soothing properties, which help in maintaining soft, supple skin. Phospholipids further support the skin's barrier, contributing to a balanced complexion.
