What does the product description say?

DHC Olive Soap is a resourceful, naturally-derived cleansing bar that seeks to nurture skin during the process of washing.

Source: Mankind

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sodium laurate, sodium myristate, sodium oleate, sodium olivate, sodium palmitate, sodium stearate) 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: sodium palmitate

sodium laurate 9.5% - 14.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

sodium myristate 0.85% - 1.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

sodium oleate 1.3% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together and create a thicker product consistency
