What the product description says
“Deep Clean Foam Cleanser”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidic acid, capric acid, cocamidopropyl betaine, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, tea-lauryl 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, tea-lauryl sulfate

Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~2.5–3.7%
