What the product description says
“Treat hard-working hands to the ila-spa Hand Wash for Purifying Skin ; a luxurious formula infused with pure natural oils to cleanse, soften and moisturise.”
Source: Mankind

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, lauryl betaine, potassium cocoate, potassium oleate, quillaja saponaria bark extract) 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: decyl glucoside

Glyceryl caprylateEffect: HighAn emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products~0.35–0.85%
