What the product description says
“Ila Cleansing Milk for Natural Beauty”
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 (candelilla/jojoba/rice bran polyglyceryl-3 esters, caprylyl/capryl glucoside, cetearyl alcohol, decyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside

Caprylyl/capryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~2.3–3.4%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~1.5–2.2%

Cetearyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture~0.45–1.1%
Candelilla/jojoba/rice bran polyglyceryl-3 estersEffect: HighHelp oil and water mix together~0.4–0.95%
Glyceryl stearateEffect: HighAn emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together~0.4–0.95%
Sodium stearoyl lactylateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.2–0.75%
