What the product description says
“This moisturizing 2-in-1 makeup remover and cleanser is formulated with camellia oil to gently remove even waterproof makeup, melt away excess oil, and nourish skin to feel softer than silk.”
Source: Tatcha

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl behenate/eicosadioate, lauryl betaine, polyglyceryl-10 dioleate, polyglyceryl-2 sesquicaprylate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate, sodium lauryl phosphate, sodium stearoyl 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.
