What the product description says
“Gold Antibacterial Bar Soap advanced clean™ bar soap”
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 (coconut acid, palm acid, palm kernel acid, sodium cocoate, sodium palm kernelate, sodium palmate, 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.
