What the product description says

“Zesty & uplifting, bubble bursting hand cleanser with grapefruit, orange and lemon.”

Source: Feelunique

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (potassium cocoate, potassium oleate) 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.

Potassium oleateEffect: High~4.8–7.1%

Potassium cocoateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~3.3–4.9%
