If you’ve read our posts on the top 10 mildest body washes you know that we’re big fans of the ingredient sodium cocoyl isethionate as a cleansing agent that’s gentle to skin. Dove is using this cleanser in a new seasonal body wash that’s specially designed for the dryness of winter.
Dove Winter Care Body wash is also interesting because of its inclusion of Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, another mild cleanser that’s usually found in high-end facial products. Surprisingly, Dove has also chosen to include Sodium Laureth Sulfate (the milder cousin of SLS). I guess they needed it to boost foam but they could have gone the sulfate-free route like other progressive products have done. Still, they’ve developed a very cool demo showing how Dove cares for skin better than other body Washes and how it’s superior in mildness to Olay, Dial and Cetaphil.

LOL everyone needs a whole case of body wash, you calling us dirty?
What do you think about the bar version of this? I know that body washes are usually more moisturizing, but I know someone who always complains of dry skin and insists on using a bar anyway. It seems to have those two ingredients in it too. Worth a try?
If the bar is based on sodium cocoyl isethionate then it’s definitely worth a try!
