What the product description says
“Low pH Mild Body Wash Jumbo”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hexylene glycol, hydrogenated lecithin, lauryl betaine, lauryl glucoside) 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: coco-betaine

Lauryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~6.9–8.5%
Disodium cocoamphodiacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~4.9–6%

Coco-betaineEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Can be allergenic~2–2.4%
Hexylene glycolEffect: HighHelps create a more spreadable product texture~0.3–0.6%
Hydrogenated lecithinEffect: HighHelps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.~0.2–0.35%
Exfoliation
No ingredient credited for this claim
Not delivered
What the product description says
“Infused with mineral salts to gently exfoliate and cleanse away dead skin cells and grime to leave skin smooth and clean.”
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.
