What the product description says
“Aciana Botanica Gentle Cleansing Milk Organic”
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 (coco-betaine, glyceryl stearate citrate, sucrose stearate, 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: coco-betaine

Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~1–1.5%
Sucrose stearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~0.9–1.3%
Glyceryl stearate citrateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin~0.4–0.9%
Coco-betaineEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Can be allergenic~0.35–0.85%
