What the product description says
“Radiant Results Purifying Foaming Cleanser”
From product name

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, peg-18 glyceryl oleate/cocoate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil) 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

Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~4.9–7.3%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~3.3–5%
Peg-40 hydrogenated castor oilEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.6–2.4%
Peg-18 glyceryl oleate/cocoateEffect: High~1.4–2%
