What the product description says

“Organic Cleanser Clear Skin”

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 glycerides, glyceryl oleate, hydrogenated castor oil, palmitic acid, sodium coco-sulfate, stearic acid) 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: glyceryl oleate

Sodium coco-sulfateEffect: High~26–38%

Palmitic acidEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it~3.9–5.8%

Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~3.6–5.3%

Hydrogenated castor oilEffect: HighA plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency~1.7–2.6%

Glyceryl oleateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~0.3–0.7%

Caprylic/capric glyceridesEffect: HighHelp soften the upper layer of the skin~0.15–0.7%
