What does the product description say?
The Matinee Cream 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 (cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, cetearyl olivate, coco-glucoside, glyceryl stearate, sorbitan olivate, stearic acid) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-glucoside
