What the product description says
“Glasshouse Kyoto in Bloom Hand Wash”
Source: Recreate Yourself

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, sodium coco-sulfate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate) 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.

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

Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~8.3–10.2%
Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent~3.6–4.4%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~2.4–2.9%

Sodium coco-sulfateEffect: High~1.7–2%
Glyceryl caprylateEffect: HighAn emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products~0.45–0.65%
