What the product description says
“Yam Root Vegan Milk Cleanser”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidyl glucoside, cetearyl alcohol, coco-glucoside, glyceryl stearate, 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: coco-glucoside

Cetearyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture~1.3–1.9%
Arachidyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.45–1.1%
Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~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~0.35–0.8%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.05–0.1%

    Use this as a first step cleanse in place of an oil cleanser. It is less stripping and more soothing than most regular oil cleansers, but it does have pore cloggers so either avoid if you are acne prone och cleanse really well with your second step foaming cleanser
