What the product description says
“Bi Phase Micellar Cleansing Water”
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, isohexadecane, poloxamer 184) 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.

IsohexadecaneEffect: HighImproves the texture of the product and helps soften the skin. Helps oil and water mix together and can be used as a cleansing agent~4.1–6.1%
Poloxamer 184Effect: High~1.5–2.3%
Hexylene glycolEffect: HighHelps create a more spreadable product texture~0.55–1.25%
