What the product description says
“Ceramic Slip Cleanser”
Source: Beautylish

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coconut acid, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, laureth-10, olive oil polyglyceryl-6 esters, polyglyceryl-2 caprate, rice oil glycereth-8 esters, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroamphoacetate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, trisodium sulfosuccinate, xanthan gum) 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: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
