What the product description says
“This gentle yet powerful cleanser is specifically designed to provide a deep yet gentle cleanse that leaves your skin feeling clean, fresh, and revitalized.”
Source: Soko Glam

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, coconut acid, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, xanthan gum) 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: coco-betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
