What does the product description say?
Tropical Lave Body Cleanser
Source: Epicuren
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl betaine, cocamide mipa, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, glycol distearate, laureth-4, lauryl glucoside, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, sodium methyl oleoyl taurate, xylityl sesquicaprylate) 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: cetyl betaine, cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside
