What the product description says
“A-D-E Creamy Fruit Oil Cleanser”
Source: Earth Science

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl dilaurate, glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate se, polysorbate 20, xanthan gum) 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.

Glyceryl stearate seEffect: HighUsed to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient~2.5–3.7%
