What the product description says
“Kryolan Dermacolor Cleansing Lotion”
From product name

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hexylene glycol, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, polysorbate 80) 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.

Peg-7 glyceryl cocoateEffect: HighHelps oils and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~2.8–3.4%
Hexylene glycolEffect: HighHelps create a more spreadable product texture~2.2–2.6%
Peg-40 hydrogenated castor oilEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.9–2.3%
