What does the product description say?
Micro-Foam Cleanser
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 (carbomer, cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, glycol distearate, hexylene glycol, olive oil peg-7 esters, peg-150 distearate, sodium cocoyl glycinate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine
