What the product description says
“Succulent Skin 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, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, disodium cocoyl glutamate, 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

Disodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and works as a cleansing agent~9.5–11.6%
Disodium cocoamphodiacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~3.9–4.7%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~2.5–3%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~1.8–2.3%

Cereus grandiflorus flower extractA cactus extract that can help neutralize free radicals because it contains a chemical compound called betacyanins and flavonolglycosides.

Sodium ascorbyl phosphateA stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin CMedium~0.4–0.65%est.
