What the product description says
“Creamy Jelly Cleanser”
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 (cholesterol, cocamide methyl mea, cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, hydrogenated lecithin, oleic acid, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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, decyl glucoside, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~7.7–9.4%
Disodium laureth sulfosuccinateEffect: High~5.8–7.1%
Cocamide methyl meaEffect: High~3.1–3.8%
Sodium lauryl sulfoacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~2.7–3.3%
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as cleansing agent~1.9–2.4%
CholesterolEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally found in skin~0.5–0.75%
Oleic acidEffect: HighHelps soften the upper layer of the skin. At the same time, it can weaken the skin's barrier enhancing penetration of other ingredients and increasing the risk of skin dryness~0.4–0.6%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~0.3–0.55%
Hydrogenated lecithinEffect: HighHelps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.~0.3–0.5%
