What the product description says
“Daily Detox Cleanser Face Wash”
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 (decyl glucoside, laureth-4 carboxylic acid, 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

Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~8–12.1%
Laureth-4 carboxylic acidEffect: High~2.1–3.1%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.95–1.45%
