What the product description says
“Our multi-purpose bubble bath & body wash gently cleanses while restoring light hydration and energizing dry, dull skin.”
Source: Walgreens

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium lauroyl lactylate) 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, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate

Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~4.9–7.3%
Sodium lauroyl lactylateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~3–4.4%
Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~0.2–0.7%
Glyceryl oleateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~0.1–0.45%
