What the product description says
“Dry Skin Replenishing Body Wash 5% Urea Plus Lactate”
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 (lanolin alcohol, lauryl glucoside, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil) 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.

Lauryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1–1.5%
