Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Clay AwayTM Purifying Body Cleanser (200ml) A gentle, lightly foaming clay body wash that deeply cleanses to help remove impurities.
Source: Lookfantastic
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, polyglyceryl-4 caprylate/caprate, polyglyceryl-4 laurate/sebacate, 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside
Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating
An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products
Used to create a thicker product consistency
Exfoliation

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.
