What the product description says
“Cleansing Gel Super Sensitive EX”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, peg-12 diisostearate, peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-8 diisostearate) 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.

Peg-8 diisostearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~1.5–2.3%
Peg-60 hydrogenated castor oilEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.2–0.7%
CarbomerEffect: HighHelps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations~0.1–0.4%
