What the product description says
“Cleansing Milk”
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 (capric acid, carbomer, peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, peg-5 glyceryl stearate) 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.

Peg-20 glyceryl triisostearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~5.3–7.9%
Peg-5 glyceryl stearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.6–2.5%
Capric acidEffect: High~0.5–1.2%
CarbomerEffect: HighHelps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations~0.35–0.8%
