This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, glyceryl stearate, hexylene glycol, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.
