What the product description says
“A moisturising body wash for sensitive skin.”
Source: Beauty Bay

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamide mea, sodium lauroamphoacetate, sodium trideceth 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.

Sodium trideceth sulfateEffect: High~5.1–6.3%
Sodium lauroamphoacetateEffect: High~1.8–2.1%
Cocamide meaEffect: High~1.2–1.5%
