What the product description says
“Experience a luxurious lather with Embryolisse Gentle Dermatological Cleansing Bar, a soap-free formula that works to gently cleanse and enrich the skin.”
Source: Lookfantastic

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.

Disodium lauryl sulfosuccinateEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together~23–34%
Sodium coco-sulfateEffect: High~9.8–14.6%
Cetearyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture~3.8–5.7%
