What does the product description say?
Vital Cleanse
Source: 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 (caprylyl/capryl wheat bran/straw glycosides, cocamidopropyl betaine, fusel wheat bran/straw glycosides, glyceryl caprylate, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, polyglyceryl-5 oleate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.
