What the product description says
“Cultiv Clean-Hydra Cleansing Milk Organic 120ml is a moisturizing cleansing milk that cleanses deeply.”
Source: Cocoon Center

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (c12-20 alkyl glucoside, cetyl alcohol, coco-betaine, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, sodium stearoyl glutamate, 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
