What the product description says
“Fig Leaf Cream Soap”
Source: Bluemercury

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (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.

Sodium palmateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together~25–38%
Sodium palm kernelateEffect: High~8.9–13.3%
Palm kernel acidEffect: High~0.5–1.1%
