What the product description says
“Creamy and rich foam gently wraps delicate skin and cleans up smooth skin while moisturizing.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, myristic acid, palmitic acid, potassium palmate, stearic 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.

Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~2.5–3.8%
Myristic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Could be comedogenic~2–3%
Potassium palmateEffect: High~1.1–1.6%
