What the product description says
“Active Body Wash”
Source: Eirnyc

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (potassium cocoate, potassium jojobate, potassium olivate) 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.

Potassium cocoateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~22–34%
Potassium olivateEffect: High~5.2–7.8%
Potassium jojobateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~2.4–3.6%
