What the product description says
“Anti-twince, it gently cleanses, durably nourishes and protects from limestone drying effects by leaving a protective film.”
Source: Cocoon Center

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, hydroxypropyl guar) 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.

Caprylyl/capryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~4.9–7.4%
Hydroxypropyl guarEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize emulsions~2.7–4%
