What the product description says
“Moisturizing Oat & Calendula Bubble Bath & Wash”
Source: Babo Botanicals

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (capryloyl glycine, coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, 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: coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Coco-betaineEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Can be allergenic~5.3–6.5%
Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~3.9–4.8%
Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent~2.3–2.8%
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as cleansing agent~1.8–2.2%
Capryloyl glycineEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together, preserve cosmetic products, and attract water to the upper layer of the skin~0.3–0.6%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.3–0.5%
