Its cleansing base is based on a combination of gentle surfactants: **sodium cocoyl glutamate** (an amino acid derivative, respectful of the hydrolipidic film) and **cocamidopropyl betaine** (amphoteric, gentle cleansing without disturbing the skin's pH), complemented by **sodium laurylglucosides hydroxypropylsulfonate**, a glucosidic surfactant with low irritant potential. Glycerine** and **caprylic/capric triglyceride** provide a moisturizing and lightly occlusive action, limiting the «tight skin» effect after cleansing. Coco-caprylate/caprate** contributes to the creaminess of the texture. Inulin**, a prebiotic polysaccharide of plant origin, supports the balance of the cutaneous microbiome, while simple sugars (**fructose, glucose**) contribute to surface hydration. Hydroxyacetophenone** and sodium phytate** play an antioxidant and chelating role, stabilizing the formula. This product is particularly suitable for sensitive skin, intolerant skin or skin weakened by dermatological treatments, as well as normal to dry skin looking for non-aggressive cleansing.
