What the product description says
“Fresh Royal Blue Hyssop Cleanser”
Source: Soko Glam

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sodium cocoyl isethionate) 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.

Sodium cocoyl isethionateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~5.4–8.1%
