What the product description says
“CLEANSE face and body wash”
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 (decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, glyceryl stearate, sodium lauroyl lactylate, 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate

Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~4–6%
Glyceryl stearateEffect: HighAn emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together~1.6–2.4%
Glyceryl oleateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~1.1–1.6%
Sodium lauroyl lactylateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~0.6–1.4%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.1–0.45%
