What does the product description say?

Calendula Calming & Soothing Concentrated Cleansing Bar

Source: 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 (cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, sodium 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.

cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine 1.7% - 2.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Used as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together

sodium cocoate 25% - 38%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH
