What the product description says
“Cleansing Foam”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl stearate se, glycol distearate, hydrogenated castor oil, lauric acid, lauryl betaine, myristic acid, palmitic acid, poloxamer 215, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, stearic acid) 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.
