What the product description says
“Flower Infused Cleansing Milk”
Source: Chantecaille

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, ceteareth-3, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, peg-100 stearate, stearic acid, 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.
