What the product description says
“Soft Reset Green Cleansing Foam”
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 (arachidic acid, glyceryl stearate, lauric acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, potassium laurate, potassium myristate, potassium stearate, 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.
