What the product description says
“Medicica Comfort Cleanser”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydrogenated lecithin, lauryl betaine, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium lauroyl glutamate) 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.

Sodium cocoyl glycinateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.4–0.9%
Sodium lauroyl glutamateEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. It creates foam~0.4–0.9%
Hydrogenated lecithinEffect: HighHelps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.~0.1–0.4%
