What the product description says
“No. 3 All Green pH Balancing Cleanser”
Source: Lila Beauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium lauroyl glutamate, hydrogenated lecithin, lauryl betaine, sodium cocoyl glycinate) 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.

Disodium lauroyl glutamateEffect: High~3.7–5.6%
Lauryl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~1.9–2.8%
