What the product description says

“Lait Hydra Confort Comforting Cleansing Milk”

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 (peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, polysorbate 60, sorbitan isostearate, sorbitan stearate) 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.

Polysorbate 60Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.7–2.1%

Sorbitan stearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~1.5–1.8%

Peg-40 hydrogenated castor oilEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.25–0.45%
