What the product description says
“Take Care 10% Sulphur Soap - The English Soap Company”
Source: The English Soap Company

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (palmitic acid, sodium palm kernelate, sodium palmate) 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.

Sodium palmateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together~26–38%
Sodium palm kernelateEffect: High~9.9–14.8%
Palmitic acidEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it~2.3–3.5%
