What the product description says
“This herbally intoxicating and invigorating cleansing oil removes the grit and grime of the day while allowing you a spa worthy-moment at home.”
Source: Monastery Made

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.

Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
