What the product description says
“Has Deep Cleansing Balm”
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 (decyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate, linoleic acid, oleic acid, peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside

Peg-20 glyceryl triisostearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~3.5–5.2%
Glyceryl stearateEffect: HighAn emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together~2.3–3.5%
Linoleic acidEffect: HighAn excellent emollient. Helps soften the skin, restore its barrier function, and can help to calm down inflammation. It can be helpful to prevent blemishes and clogged pores~0.6–1.4%
Oleic acidEffect: HighHelps soften the upper layer of the skin. At the same time, it can weaken the skin's barrier enhancing penetration of other ingredients and increasing the risk of skin dryness~0.5–1.15%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~0.4–0.9%
Polysorbate 60Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.15–0.7%
