What the product description says
“Clarify your complexion with the Too Cool For School Egg Mousse Soap , a gentle facial cleanser for oily and combination skin types.”
Source: Mankind

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, egg yolk extract, glyceryl oleate, hexylene glycol, myristic acid, palmitic acid, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, tea-cocoyl glutamate, triethanolamine) 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
