What the product description says
“The innovative formula glides effortlessly across your base, offering a deep and thorough cleanse without leaving skin feeling stripped or dry.”
Source: Lookfantastic Australia

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, 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: coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside

Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~4.8–7.1%
Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~2.1–3.2%
Caprylyl/capryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~1.4–2.2%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~1.1–1.6%
