What the product description says
“1 Hydra Moisturising Cleansing Milk”
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 (cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, palmitic acid, peg-100 stearate, triethanolamine) 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.

Glyceryl stearateEffect: HighAn emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together~0.2–0.75%
Palmitic acidEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it~0.15–0.6%
