What the product description says
“Squeezy Clean Face Wash”
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 (disodium cocoyl glutamate, glyceryl stearate, myristic acid, palmitic acid, peg-100 stearate, polysorbate 20, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sorbitan olivate, stearic acid) 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.
