It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, sucrose cocoate, 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

The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
