What the product description says
“Natu Savon Select Body Wash White & Rich Moist , 3 Types”
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 (glycol distearate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, myristic acid, palmitic acid) 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.

Myristic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Could be comedogenic~6.6–9.9%
Palmitic acidEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it~2.5–3.7%
Glycol distearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~1.5–2.2%

What the product description says
“Yuzu & Honey version Formulated to cleanse skin and remove dead skin cells for smooth and radiant skin. Comes in yuzu and honey scents.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
