What the product description says
“Revitalize, soften and cleanse tired, dry feet from the day to day stresses.”
Source: SmallFlower

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polysorbate 20, sodium methyl oleoyl 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.

Sodium methyl oleoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.3–0.7%
Polysorbate 20Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.05–0.25%
