What the product description says
“Perfect for all skin types, this shower time staple is blended with essential oils to promote a harmonising, uplifting and refreshing aromatic.”
Source: Allbeauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, polysorbate 20, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium sheabutteramphoacetate) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine

Disodium cocoamphodiacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~8.3–10.2%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~5.5–6.7%

Polysorbate 20Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.1–1.4%
Sodium sheabutteramphoacetateEffect: High~0.3–0.55%
