The Kose Maihada Skin Moisture Inn W Cleanser - Rice-Powered Double Cleansing is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to effectively cleanse while maintaining skin hydration.

The cleanser includes glycerin and butylene glycol as humectants to attract and retain moisture, preventing dryness post-cleansing.
