What the product description says
“Working to lift away impurities and refresh skin, the Indeed Labs cleanser helps to dissolve makeup for a silky soft yet clean finish.”
Source: Mankind

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cocamidopropyl betaine, palmitic acid, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate

Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~8.4–10.3%
Sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and used as a cleansing agent. Can be irritating and is better avoided for sensitive skin~5.9–7.2%
Palmitic acidEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it~2.9–3.5%
Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~1.8–2.2%
CarbomerEffect: HighHelps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations~0.15–0.25%
