What the product description says
“Organic Face Wash”
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 cocoyl glutamate, glyceryl oleate, sodium coco-sulfate, sodium cocoyl glutamate) 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, glyceryl oleate

Sodium coco-sulfateEffect: High~4.1–6.2%
Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~3.7–5.5%
Glyceryl oleateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~1.1–1.7%
Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.55–1.25%
Disodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and works as a cleansing agent~0.45–1.1%
