What the product description says
“Gentle Foam Cleanser”
Source: Face the future

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, triethanolamine) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine

Disodium laureth sulfosuccinateEffect: High~4.8–7.2%
Sodium lauryl sulfoacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~3.4–5.1%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~2.6–4%
TriethanolamineEffect: HighUsed to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell~0.5–1.2%
