What the product description says
“Tor Rose Velvety 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 (cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, decyl glucoside, 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

Cetearyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture~2.3–3.4%
Cetearyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture~2–3.1%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~1.7–2.6%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.15–0.55%
