What does the product description say?
Wash away everything you know about cleansing with this micellar cleansing water—a no-rinse, soap- and alcohol-free formula that gently removes dirt, makeup, and impurities.

It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetrimonium chloride, polysorbate 20, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.
