Seven years ago, Glossier launched its Milky Jelly gel-cream cleanser and the success of this viral beauty product inspired a new product for the face and body, the Milky Jelly Cleansing Bar. As the brand shared on Instagram, the newest Glossier product got its start in a Slack channel. "I use a face wash on my chest and back after working out," said Global Supply Management and Logistics manager Ali Rice, who then asked, "Have we ever [considered] a Milky Jelly face bar?"
This gentle, soap-free solid skincare product boasts an ergonomically friendly design that's packed with skincare ingredients for the face and the neck down. There's chamomile extract and five nourishing skin conditioners, including allantoin, sodium hyaluronate, shea butter and Pro-Vitamin B5 to soothe and support the skin barrier.
