What does the product description say?
Pro Balance Creamy Cleansing Foam
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 (candida bombicola/glucose/methyl rapeseedate ferment, glyceryl stearate, lauric acid, lauryl betaine, myristic acid, palmitic acid, polyglyceryl-2 stearate, stearic acid, stearyl alcohol) 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.
