What does the product description say?
Apricot & Manuka Honey Cleansing Stick
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, lauric acid, myristic acid, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl lactylate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, stearyl alcohol) 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-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
