What the product description says
“Cleansing solution”
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-glucoside, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sorbitan oleate decylglucoside crosspolymer) 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-glucoside

Sorbitan oleate decylglucoside crosspolymerEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Used as a cleansing agent~2.6–3.9%
Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~2–3%
Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.15–0.5%
