What the product description says
“Klassikko Softening Cleansing Milk”
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 (arachidyl glucoside, cetearyl alcohol, sorbitan stearate, 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.

Sorbitan stearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~1.7–2.5%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.45–1.05%
Arachidyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.2–0.7%
