What the product description says

“Atoderm Cleansing Oil Normal & Very Dry Skin”

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 (coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, laureth-2, lauryl glucoside, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, polysorbate 20, sodium cocoamphoacetate) 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-glucoside, glyceryl oleate

Nikita Fr3ak· Dec 2024Recommends
The only body/face wash adequate for my atopic dermatitis and extra dry winter skin. Cleanses thoroughly but softly, doesn't strip. The smell is soft and calming too.
Please don't let the fragrance discourage you, if you are not allergic to it there is no reason to be afraid of it!
It is very very very very very good.
