What the product description says
“A plant derived facial cleanser that protects the skin from environmental damage.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium lauroamphoacetate) 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 cocoyl glycinateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~4.1–6.2%
Sodium lauroamphoacetateEffect: High~3.4–5.2%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~1.7–2.6%
Hydroxypropyl methylcelluloseEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize the formulation~0.1–0.3%
