What the product description says
“The body wash is designed to envelop skin in moisturising properties while gently cleansing away dirt, build-up and impurities.”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl laurate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, sorbitan sesquicaprylate) 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

Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~8.4–12.7%
Sodium lauryl sulfoacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~5.2–7.8%
Sorbitan sesquicaprylateEffect: High~1.5–2.2%
Glyceryl laurateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and has an anti-microbial effect helping to preserve product formulations~1.3–2%
