What the product description says
“Harnessing the power of naturally antibacterial tea tree essential oil, the Tisserand hand soap will purify and cleanse the skin to leave hands clean, fresh and soothed.”
Source: Escentual

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, sodium coco-sulfate) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside

Sodium coco-sulfateEffect: High~4.1–6.2%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~4–5.9%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~2.2–3.3%
Caprylyl/capryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~1.7–2.5%
