This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl olivate, coconut acid, glyceryl caprylate, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sorbitan olivate, stearic acid, xanthan gum) 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.
