What does the product description say?
Exomega Control Emollient Cleansing Oil Anti-Scratching
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 (ceteareth-60 myristyl glycol, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, hydrogenated vegetable glycerides citrate, lauric acid, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium methyl isethionate, zinc coceth 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: coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate
