Removes sunscreen without tightness in a fragrance-free bar; pH and residue complaints.

What the community says

A lathering facial cleansing bar with glycerin and cocamidopropyl betaine, built for stripped-down routines and sensitive skin. It removes oil and mineral sunscreen, yet soap-related pH, residue, and tightness complaints make daily use a YMMV call.
