What the product description says
“Jeju Milk Soft Foaming Cleanser”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, hexylene glycol, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl apple amino acids) 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-betaine

Potassium cocoyl glycinateEffect: High~2.8–4.2%
Sodium cocoyl apple amino acidsEffect: High~1.7–2.6%
Coco-betaineEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Can be allergenic~0.5–1.1%
Hexylene glycolEffect: HighHelps create a more spreadable product texture~0.45–1.1%
