What the product description says
“Concentrated in active ingredients of plant and organic origin, these formulas delicately cleanse your skin, leaving it naturally soft, satiny and perfumed”
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 (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, decyl 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside

Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~9.8–14.6%
Caprylyl/capryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~3.6–5.4%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~1.9–2.8%
