What the product description says
“Soft Cream Hydration Boost Cleanser”
From product name

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate se, sodium laureth sulfate, stearic acid) 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, sodium laureth sulfate

Sodium laureth sulfateEffect: HighWorks as a foaming cleansing agent~12–15%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~2.1–2.6%
Cetearyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture~1.9–2.4%
Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~1.2–1.5%
Glyceryl stearate seEffect: HighUsed to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient~0.95–1.15%
