The following cleansing agents are typically mild, but still can cause an irritation or allergy for some people cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium laureth sulfate.

Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture

cocamidopropyl betaine 2.1% - 2.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen

glyceryl laurate 0.4% - 0.6%

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Energizing Foaming Exfoliant

Source: From product name

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

lactic acid 0.15% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
