What the product description says
“Infused with Immortelle floral water, this cleanser gently foams to remove make-up and impurities, leaving skin soft and radiant.”
Source: Skinstore

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, disodium cocoyl glutamate, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, sodium cocoyl glutamate) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside
