What the product description says
“Childs Farm Moisturising Hand Wash Unfragranced”
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 (argan oil polyglyceryl-6 esters, cocamidopropyl betaine, lauryl glucoside, sodium coco-sulfate, sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate, sucrose laurate) 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

Sodium coco-sulfateEffect: High~9.7–14.5%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~5.3–8%
Argan oil polyglyceryl-6 estersEffect: High~1.7–2.5%
Sodium lauryl glucose carboxylateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and works as a cleansing agent~1.3–2%
Lauryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.55–1.3%
Sucrose laurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~0.3–0.7%
