What the product description says
“Goodness Oud, Cedar & Amber Body Wash”
Source: Boots

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, sodium lauroyl methyl 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.

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

Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~8.3–12.4%
Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent~4.6–6.9%
Peg-120 methyl glucose dioleateEffect: High~0.9–1.35%
