What the product description says
“Soy Milk Cleansing Face Wash NC”
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 (cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, glycine soja protein, myristic acid, palmitic acid, 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

Myristic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Could be comedogenic~3.8–5.7%
Palmitic acidEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it~2.4–3.7%
Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~1.7–2.6%
Glyceryl stearateEffect: HighAn emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together~1.4–2%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~0.55–1.3%
Glycine soja proteinEffect: HighA plant extract that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and soften it. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. It might be somewhat helpful for evening out the skin tone. It might be able to support elastin production but solid research is lacking~0.1–0.35%
