What the product description says
“Muo Face Wash”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl stearate se, lauramidopropyl betaine, myristic acid, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Myristic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Could be comedogenic~3.3–5%
Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~2.9–4.4%
Glyceryl stearate seEffect: HighUsed to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient~1.5–2.3%
Lauramidopropyl betaineEffect: High~1.5–2.3%
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as cleansing agent~1.2–1.7%
