What the product description says

“A rich botanical skin purifier that instantly removes all traces of makeup and protects against ageing.”

Source: Recreate Yourself

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (isostearic acid, polysorbate 85, zea mays oil) 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.

Zea mays oilEffect: HighA good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function~3.4–5.1%

Isostearic acidEffect: HighUsed to create a nice product texture~2.3–3.4%

Polysorbate 85Effect: High~1.5–2.3%
