What the product description says
“Face Off Gentle Make-Up Removal Emulsion”
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 (glyceryl stearate se, palmitic acid) 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.

Palmitic acidEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it~0.45–1.05%
Stearic acidEffect: High, below effective doseHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~0.6–1.35%
