Perfectly prep for the day with this low-foam facial cleansing gel, that uses an ultra mild combination of sulfate-free surfactants to leave skin clean and fresh. The highly effective trio of Crodasinic™ LS30, our new biosurfactant NatraFusion™ SL HA and Crodateric™ CAB 30 has been optimised to deliver a powerful yet gentle cleansing experience, with effective moisturisation delivered by Crodamol™ IPIS. A cold process manufacturing method has been made possible through the combination of Amigum™ and Xanthan Gum, delivering a gel format with high natural content. Skin radiance is enhanced thanks to Phytessence™ Pink Pomelo EC by delivering mild exfoliation, and is complemented by the addition of Evermat™ which helps to balance oil production for a noticeably mattified appearance.
