What does the product description say?
Gongjinhyang Foam Cleanser
Source: 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 (c12-20 alkyl glucoside, carbomer, cholesterol, cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, glycol stearate, hydrogenated lecithin, lauric acid, myristic acid, peg-100 stearate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sorbitan olivate, stearic acid, triethanolamine) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
