What the product description says
“Face Deep Clear Cleansing Oil”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, peg-8 glyceryl isostearate, polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate) 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.

Peg-7 glyceryl cocoateEffect: HighHelps oils and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~3.4–5.1%
Peg-8 glyceryl isostearateEffect: High~2.8–4.1%
Peg-20 glyceryl triisostearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~2–3.1%
