What the product description says
“Kind to Skin Moisturising Facial Wash Pouch”
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 (cocamide mea, cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, glycol distearate, laureth-10, peg-55 propylene glycol oleate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium laureth 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium laureth sulfate
