What does the product description say?
MAX LS Daily Renewing Cleanser

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (behenic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, peg-3 distearate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, stearic acid) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.
