What the product description says
“Treatment Cleansing Foam Hydrating Cleanser”
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 (cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated lecithin, lauric acid, myristic acid, olive oil peg-8 esters, peg-100 stearate, peg-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate, peg-5 rapeseed sterol, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, phosphatidylcholine, sodium myristoyl glutamate, stearic acid, xanthan gum) 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
