What the product description says
“Deluxe Cleansing Cream”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate se, hydrogenated palm oil, polysorbate 60) 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.

Polysorbate 60Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.8–2.8%
Cetyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together~1.4–2%
Glyceryl stearate seEffect: HighUsed to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient~1.4–2.2%
Hydrogenated palm oilEffect: HighHelps soften the upper layer of the skin~0.95–1.4%
