What the product description says
“Organic Ultra-Rich Cleansing Gel”
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 (disodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, xanthan gum) 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.

Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~1.8–2.7%
Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.45–1.05%
