How These Ingredients Work Together
Oat Extract and Bisabolol work synergistically to calm and reduce skin irritation and redness.
Glycerin, D-Panthenol, and Sodium Hyaluronate deliver a powerful hydration boost, leaving the skin feeling soft and moisturized.
The combination of Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine creates a gentle cleansing base that effectively removes impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
Additionally, Provitamin B5 and Fatty Alcohols help to strengthen and protect the skin's natural barrier.
