What the product description says
“Buy Celimax Dual Barrier Mild Gel Cleanser in Australia , Korean Skincare and Cosmetics”
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 (cetearyl alcohol, cholesterol, coco-betaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hexylene glycol, hydrogenated lecithin, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, 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-betaine
