What does the product description say?
THE BALM CLEANSER
Source: Routinely

It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydrogenated castor oil, peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, polyglyceryl-4 oleate) 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.
