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 (capric acid, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated lecithin, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, peg-100 stearate, sorbitan olivate, 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.
