What does the product description say?
WAKE THINGS UP MATCHA & MINT MORNING CLEANSER
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 (cetearyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, decyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium cocoyl glycinate, 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, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate

The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
