What the product description says
“John Masters Organics' Lavender Rose Geranium & Ylang Ylang Soap is triple-milled and enriched with moisturizing olive oil and cupuacu seed butter.”
Source: Allbeauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sodium cocoate, sodium palmate) 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 palmateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together~25–38%
Sodium cocoateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent~8.7–13%
