What does the product description say?
Gently Nourishing Essentials Washbag with Bamboo Soap Tray
Source: 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, caprylic acid, capryloyl glycine, carbomer, cetearyl alcohol, cetrimonium chloride, cocamide mea, cocamidopropyl betaine, glycol distearate, lauric acid, palmitic acid, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauroyl glycinate, sodium lauroyl isethionate, sodium palm kernelate, sodium palmate, sodium stearate, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, tea-dodecylbenzenesulfonate, undecylenoyl glycine) 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: cetrimonium chloride, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium laureth sulfate

Key Actives
A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
