What the product description says
“Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser Mini”
Source: Korres

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-betaine, disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, glyceryl laurate, hydrogenated castor oil, sodium cocoyl alaninate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Sodium cocoyl isethionateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~10–13%
Coco-betaineEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Can be allergenic~6–7.3%
Cetearyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture~2.6–3.2%
Disodium lauryl sulfosuccinateEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together~2.5–3.1%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~2–2.4%

Glyceryl laurateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and has an anti-microbial effect helping to preserve product formulations~0.65–0.95%
Hydrogenated castor oilEffect: HighA plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency~0.45–0.7%
Sodium cocoyl alaninateEffect: High~0.2–0.4%
