What the product description says
“No Rinse Cleansing Milk”
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 (carbomer, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl stearate citrate, glyceryl stearate se, polyglyceryl-3 distearate) 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.
