What the product description says
“Hydra Life Micellar Water No Rinse Cleanser”
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 (peg-40 glyceryl cocoate, poloxamer 184, saponins, sodium coceth sulfate) 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.

Poloxamer 184Effect: High~3.2–4.8%
Peg-40 glyceryl cocoateEffect: High~1.9–2.9%
Sodium coceth sulfateEffect: High~1.2–1.8%
SaponinsEffect: High~0.1–0.4%
