What the product description says
“Body Wash Coconut Water”
Source: Walgreens

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, peg-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, ppg-2 hydroxyethyl cocamide, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate) 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 c14-16 olefin sulfonate

Sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and used as a cleansing agent. Can be irritating and is better avoided for sensitive skin~5.2–7.7%

Peg-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.2–0.75%
