What the product description says
“A pH-balancing cleansing foam infused with Jeju Aloe Vera Leaf Extract for excellent soothing, moisturizing effects.”
Source: Yesstyle

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, lauryl hydroxysultaine, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl alaninate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, 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.
