What the product description says
“Refresh skin from top to toe with JASON's Coconut Body Wash ; a revitalising formula that works to eliminate excess oil, dirt and impurities, without over-drying or uncomfortable tightness.”
Source: Mankind

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, coco-glucoside, glyceryl stearate se, lauryl glucoside, sodium coco-sulfate, stearic acid, xanthan gum) 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-glucoside

Cetyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together~3.9–4.7%
Glyceryl stearate seEffect: HighUsed to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient~2.9–3.5%
Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~2.1–2.5%
