What the product description says
“Natessance Aloe Vera Pure Organic Fair Trade Juice Freshening Gel 200ml is a cleansing gel that perfectly cleanses, removes make-up and eliminates impurities while preserving the skin's natural balance.”
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 (cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, xanthan gum) 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, decyl glucoside

Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~3.4–5.1%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~2.8–4.2%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~1.6–2.4%
