What the product description says
“A natural micellar water to gently remove face + eye makeup and cleanse skin.”
Source: Carbon Beauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside) 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.

Caprylyl/capryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~1.3–2%
