What the product description says
“Nourishing Washing Gel With Cold Cream and Bee Wax”
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 (cera alba, cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, glycol distearate, peg-150 distearate, peg-3 distearate, sodium myreth 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, coco-glucoside

Sodium myreth sulfateEffect: High~2.9–4.3%

Glycol distearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~0.95–1.4%
