What the product description says
“Organic Cleansing Milk”
Source: Cocoon Center

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (lauryl glucoside, xanthan gum) 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.

Lauryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.8–1.25%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.15–0.55%
