Cleansing
What does the product description say?
AMELIORATE's Clarifying Clay Body Wash works to deeply cleanse the skin, removing sweat, oil and dead skin build-up that cause blemishes to appear, while helping to lock in moisture.

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, xanthan gum) 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside
Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen
Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating
Used to create a thicker product consistency
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
The formula clarifies and purifies to help minimise the risk of future breakouts.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color
Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is claimed to support the growth of "good" bacteria in skin (as a "prebiotic"), but the research is lacking
A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. It contains a compound salicin that can theoretically be converted into salicylic acid that, in turn, helps reduce inflammation in skin, but the evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking and the extract is usually not used in a concentration that would enable an exfoliating effect
