From product name

WIMJ summary for cleansing

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane, cocamidopropyl betaine, quaternium-90 montmorillonite, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium methyl oleoyl taurate, sodium stearate) 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

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane	HIGH
cocamidopropyl betaine	HIGH
quaternium-90 montmorillonite	HIGH
