All skin types, especially sensitive.
Why we stand behind it
This non-irritating cleanser uses sugar surfactants that allow water to spread out and penetrate, so skin emerges clean, soft and supple—never dry. Formulated with decyl glucoside, a mild non-sudsing cleaning agent that deep cleans without stripping skin of oils, and licorice root extract, which is anti inflammatory and calms sensitive skin.
Key ingredients
Decyl glucoside: A mild non-sudsing cleaning agent deep cleans without stripping skin of oils.
Sucrose cocoate: Contributes both extra emollient properties as well as cleansing power.
Geranium essential oil: Keeps undesirable microbes like staph aureus in check without disturbing microfloral balance.
Licorice root extract: Powerful anti-inflammatory calms sensitive skin.
Green tea: Provides antioxidant support with powerful bioflavonoids.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage
Shake well. Dispense one pump and warm between palms. Using first three fingers, draw small circles over face/neck/chest for 1-2 minutes, adding water to create slip. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult physician. Keep in a cool, dry place, out of direct light. Use within 6 months of opening.

A great option for those who want to do a second cleanse after your oil cleanser.
