What the product description says
“Aloe Vera Hydrating Face Wash”
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 (decyl glucoside, sodium cocoyl isethionate, stearic acid) 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: decyl glucoside

Sodium cocoyl isethionateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~8–12.1%
Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~3.6–5.4%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~2.7–4.1%
