What does the product description say?

Through a meticulous process of saponification and sun-curing, African Black Soap becomes a gentle yet effective cleanser that clarifies and softens the skin.

Source: N/A

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (lauryl glucoside) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
