Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Coconut Milk Bar Soap
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 (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.
An emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it
Works as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Luxuriously gentle, the soap bar utilises coconut husk to encourage a subtle exfoliation.
Source: Mankind
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
