What does the product description say?

Men's Biore One Facial Wash

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 (isostearic acid, laureth-6 carboxylic acid, lauryl hydroxysultaine, palmitic 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.

isostearic acid 1.5% - 2.3%
