What the product description says
“Buy Mizon Hyalugen Gel To Foam Cleanser in Australia , Korean Skincare Online”
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 (coco-glucoside, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hexylene glycol, lauryl hydroxysultaine, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate) 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: coco-glucoside

Lauryl hydroxysultaineEffect: High~6.7–10.1%
Potassium cocoyl glycinateEffect: High~2.7–4.1%

Disodium cocoamphodiacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~1.3–1.9%

Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~0.55–1.25%
