What the product description says
“Soy Face Cleansing Milk”
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 (caprylic/capric/succinic triglyceride, ceteareth-20, cetyl alcohol, hydrogenated palm glycerides, lauryl glucoside, polysorbate 20, sorbitan isostearate, steareth-21, stearyl alcohol, xanthan gum) 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.
