What the product description says
“FOAMIE's Shower Body Bar with Coconut and Cacao Butter is a 2-in-1 cleanser, designed to stimulate your skin with a massaging effect.”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydrogenated castor oil, polyglyceryl-4 laurate, sodium cocoyl isethionate) 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 cocoyl isethionateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~25–37%
Polyglyceryl-4 laurateEffect: High~3.2–4.8%
Hydrogenated castor oilEffect: HighA plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency~0.4–0.9%
