What the product description says
“It Clean Blackhead Cleansing Stick”
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 (diethylhexyl sodium sulfosuccinate, glyceryl caprylate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate) 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.

Glyceryl caprylateEffect: HighAn emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products~0.15–0.55%
