What the product description says
“Ultra Gentle Soothing 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, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, polysorbate 20, sodium lauroamphoacetate) 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

Sodium lauroamphoacetateEffect: High~2.4–3.6%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~1.9–2.8%
Disodium cocoamphodiacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~1.7–2.6%
Polysorbate 20Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.1–0.35%
