Does Polar Rose shower gel remove sweat and sunscreen without stripping the skin?

According to the product description, the formula is built around cleansing agents that lift away sweat, sunscreen residue and surface impurities with water. So yes, it is intended for everyday body cleansing, including after sunscreen use or a workout, not just for light dirt.

The reason it can do this without leaving skin feeling stripped is the combination of a mild washing base with glycerin, organic amaranth oil and arctic rose extract. Glycerin helps hold moisture in the upper layers of the skin, amaranth oil is described as rich in lipids that help leave skin supple and reduce the rough, dry feel that can appear after washing, and arctic rose extract is included for softening and conditioning. The co-surfactants decyl glucoside and cocamidopropyl betaine create a softer, more cushioned wash than harsher soap-based cleansers.

For best results, apply to damp skin, lather gently, and rinse thoroughly. If you have applied a water-resistant sunscreen, you may need to cleanse twice or use a dedicated cleansing product first; this shower gel is not specifically described as a sunscreen remover. As with any fragranced body wash, patch-test first if your skin is very reactive, extra dry, or easily irritated by fragrance, and avoid use on damaged skin or intimate areas.
