What the product description says
“A-DERMA Biology Organic Hydra-Protective Dermatological Cleansing Foam 150ml is a foam that cleanses, removes makeup and eliminates 90% of pollution particles and moisturizes the fragile skin of the face.”
Source: Cocoon Center

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium stearoyl glutamate) 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: decyl glucoside

Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~2–3%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~1.5–2.2%
Sodium cocoamphoacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Creates foam~1.2–1.8%
Sodium stearoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.1–0.5%
