What the product description says
“Black Detox Cleansing Jelly”
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 (coco-betaine, lauryl glucoside, peg-150 distearate, sodium hydroxypropylsulfonate laurylglucoside crosspolymer, sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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-betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Coco-betaineEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Can be allergenic~4.3–5.3%
Sodium lauroyl glutamateEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. It creates foam~4.3–5.3%
Lauryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~2.4–3%
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as cleansing agent~1.9–2.3%
Peg-150 distearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.95–1.15%
