What the product description says
“The Kindness Cafe Palm-Sized Bar Soap Sampler”
Source: Beekman

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl threoninate, sodium palm kernelate, sodium palmate) 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.
