What the product description says
“Time Revolution Brightening Care Whipping Foam Cleanser”
Source: Influenster

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lauric acid, myristic acid, peg-100 stearate, peg-150 distearate, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, stearic acid, tea-lauryl sulfate) 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, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, tea-lauryl sulfate
