What does the product description say?
Brightening Saffron Cleanser Mini
Source: Ranavat
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl olivate, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate se, glycol distearate, lauryl glucoside, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium methyl oleoyl taurate, sorbitan olivate, 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside
