Cleansing

The Cleansing Balm
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl stearate, polyglyceryl-4 oleate, sorbitan oleate, 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.
An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Making light work of even the most stubborn make up, this calms as it cleanses – soothing and smoothing the skin to promote health and radiance – simply sweep it away with ‘The Cloth’ (100% cotton muslin) to provide gentle exfoliation and enhance the skin brightening benefits.

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
