What the product description says
“Product name: foaming face wash”
Source: Grace and Stella

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium cocoamphodiacetate, lauryl glucoside, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate) 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.

Disodium cocoamphodiacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~4.2–6.3%
Lauryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~3.3–4.9%
