Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Hydrating Body Wash, Aloe & Birch Water Scent Aloe & Birch Water
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 (capryloyl glycine, cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, hydroxystearic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid, sodium lauroyl isethionate, sodium methyl lauroyl taurate, stearic acid, undecylenoyl glycine) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine
Helps oil and water mix together, preserve cosmetic products, and attract water to the upper layer of the skin

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.
