What the product description says
“Orange Blossom Honey Body 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 (cera alba, glyceryl cocoate, oleyl betaine, sodium cocoate, sodium olivate, sodium palmate) 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.

Oleyl betaineEffect: High~8.1–9.9%
Sodium cocoateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent~2.6–3.2%
Sodium olivateEffect: High~2–2.5%
Sodium palmateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together~1.6–1.9%
Cera albaEffect: HighForms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen~0.45–0.65%
Glyceryl cocoateEffect: High~0.2–0.4%
