Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Cleanse and refresh from top to toe with the Bergamot & Poppy Seed Smoothing Body Exfoliating Bar from London-based vegan skincare brand, Dr Botanicals .
Source: Lookfantastic US
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (palm acid, palm kernel acid, ppg-5-ceteth-20, 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.
Works as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together
A solvent with some emollient properties
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Utilising Black Poppy Seeds, the cleansing bar gently buffs away dead, dull skin, whilst Shea Butter and Macadamia Oil moisturise and hydrate for long-lasting comfort.

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Bergamot & Poppy Seed Smoothing Body Exfoliating Bar
Source: From product name
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.
