What the product description says
“A gentle body cleanser that provides a deeply nourishing wash, free from soap and sulfates.”
Source: Glossier

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (dimethyl lauramide/myristamide, glyceryl caprylate/caprate, isopropylamine dodecylbenzenesulfonate) 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.

Isopropylamine dodecylbenzenesulfonateEffect: High~6.6–10%
Glyceryl caprylate/caprateEffect: High~3.3–4.9%
Dimethyl lauramide/myristamideEffect: High~1.8–2.7%
