What the product description says
β€œEggwhite Facial Soap”
Source: SmallFlower

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (lecithin, palm acid, palm kernel acid, sodium palm kernelate, 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.
