What the product description says
“A dense foam that penetrates and moisturizes the skin and gently cleanses it.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamide methyl mea, cocamidopropyl betaine, lauryl betaine, lauryl glucoside, polysorbate 20, sodium cocoamphoacetate, tea-cocoyl glutamate) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine
