What the product description says
“A cleanser formulated with soothing non-fragrant botanical extracts and a 14 amino acid blend to gently remove makeup and debris while keeping your skin balanced and hydrated.”
Source: Sephora New Zealand

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, glyceryl stearate, hexylene glycol, sodium cocoyl apple amino acids, stearic acid, xanthan gum) 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.

Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~2.4–3%
