What the product description says
“The solid cleansing bar works to eliminate any trace of makeup or SPF, leaving a purified base that is ready for serum and moisturiser.”

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, hydrogenated castor oil, stearic acid) 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, coco-glucoside
