What the product description says
“Amino-Berry Ultra Soothing Cream Cleanser with Amino Acids + Super Berry Blend”
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 (cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, peg-40 stearate, polysorbate 20, stearyl alcohol) 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.
