What the product description says
“Wildflower Cleansing Balm”
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 (sucrose laurate, sucrose stearate) 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.

Sucrose stearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~4.1–6.1%
Sucrose laurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~3.1–4.6%

What the product description says
“Eminence Organic Skin Care Wildflower Cleansing Balm maintains the youthfulness of your skin by unclogging pores, clearing away makeup and gently exfoliating dead skin cells.”
Source: Dermstore

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.
