What does the product description say?
Green Tea Amino Acid Face Cleanser
Source: 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 (glyceryl stearate, glycol distearate, lauric acid, lauryl glucoside, lauryl hydroxysultaine, myristic acid, palmitic acid, potassium cocoyl glycinate, stearic acid, 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.
