What the product description says
“Suisai Beauty Clear Micro Wash”
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 se, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Myristic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Could be comedogenic~6.1–9.2%
Palmitic acidEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it~2.9–4.4%
Lauric acidEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Has anti-bacterial properties that might be helpful in preventing blemishes~1.1–1.6%
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as cleansing agent~1–1.5%
Glyceryl stearate seEffect: HighUsed to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient~0.9–1.35%
Sodium lauroyl glutamateEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. It creates foam~0.15–0.6%
