What the product description says
“Intimate Hygiene Cleansing Micellar Oil Organic”
Source: Cocoon Center

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polyglyceryl-4 oleate, sodium caproyl/lauroyl lactylate) 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.

Polyglyceryl-4 oleateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~4.7–7%
Sodium caproyl/lauroyl lactylateEffect: High~3.3–4.9%
