What the product description says
“Infused with natural ingredients, this moisturizing body wash will keep you fragrant long after your bath!”
Source: Yesstyle

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