What the product description says
“Ictyane Anti-Dryness Cleansing Cream”
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 (cocamide mipa, sodium lauroamphoacetate, sodium trideceth 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.

Sodium trideceth sulfateEffect: High~10–13%
Sodium lauroamphoacetateEffect: High~1.9–2.3%
Cocamide mipaEffect: HighSurfactant - foam booster, viscosity increasing agent - aqueous, emulsifying, emulsion stabilising, foam boosting, surfactant, and viscosity controlling. Comes from coconut acid. Doesn't appear to be a common irritant~0.95–1.15%
