What the product description says
β€œThis solid bar soap has been developed to effectively cleanse and clear the skin, without leaving it feeling dry or stripped.”
Source: Beauty Bay

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sodium cocoate, 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.

Sodium cocoateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent~9.8–14.8%
