What does the product description say?
Derma Recipe 45% Facial Cleansing Foam
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 (glycol distearate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lauric acid, lauryl betaine, myristic acid, propylene glycol laurate, sorbitan olivate, stearic acid) 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.
