What the product description says
โ€œCelimax Derma Nature Relief Madecica pH Balancing Foam Cleansing helps to effectively cleanse skin and remove impurities.โ€
Source: Lila Beauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, hydrogenated coconut acid, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, 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: coco-betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Sodium cocoyl isethionateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~9.6โ€“11.7%
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as cleansing agent~3.9โ€“4.8%
