What the product description says
“Men Intimate and Body Cleansing Care”
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 (ammonium lauryl sulfate, cholesterol, glycol stearate, peg-2 stearate, tea-lauryl sulfate) 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: ammonium lauryl sulfate, tea-lauryl sulfate

Tea-lauryl sulfateEffect: High~11–14%
Ammonium lauryl sulfateEffect: High~4.4–5.3%
Peg-2 stearateEffect: High~2.5–3.1%
Glycol stearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.75–1.15%
CholesterolEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally found in skin~0.7–1%
