Skin care: Facial Cleanser
by Croda
A mild, clear foaming cleanser that removes dirt, excess oils and dried sweat
residues. It helps to dissolve and loosen epidermal flakes, thus making their
shedding less perceptible. Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Lauramide DEA and Babassamidopropylamine Oxide in combination provide the excellent thickening and foaming features. Sucrose Cocoate, an emollient nonionic, is beneficial for improved cleansing and improvement of skin feel on rinse off. PEG-75 Lanolin, because of its super fattening properties, helps to counteract the drying effects which are felt on repeated usage of most cleansers.
