What the product description says
“Hand and Body Wash”
Source: Recreate Yourself

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl betaine, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium cocoyl glutamate) 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: cetyl betaine, cocamidopropyl betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~8.2–12.3%
Cetyl betaineEffect: High~5.1–7.6%
Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~2.1–3.2%
