What the product description says
“Tammy Fender formulated this dry-foam hand cleanser in order to cleanse away impurities naturally, and to help bolster immune defenses with a blend of herbal remedies such as Cinnamon Bark and Thyme.”

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