What the product description says
“Non-drying cleansing bars that feel smooth and silky on the skin”
Source: SpaceNK US

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, sodium coco-sulfate) 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 coco-sulfateEffect: High~1–1.5%
Disodium lauryl sulfosuccinateEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together~0.95–1.4%
Cetearyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture~0.9–1.35%
Exfoliation

What the product description says
“The JuJu Bar has a pH-level of 6.3 and is especially mild, providing an exfoliating action that helps to cleanse the skin deeply.”
Source: SpaceNK US

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.
