What the product description says
“As well as being great for those with skin sensitivities, this bar also doubles up as a great make up (or watercolour) brush cleaner – simple rub brush over bar, then rinse and keep doing until the water runs clear!”
Source: N/A

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 olivate, sodium stearate) 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 olivateEffect: High~26–38%
Sodium cocoateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent~9.7–14.5%
Sodium stearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~3.6–5.4%
