What the product description says
“A mildly acidic body wash that lathers into soft, rich foam to hydrate and cleanse skin without leaving any feeling of tightness.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cocamide dea, cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, glycol distearate, hydrogenated lecithin, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, polyglyceryl-4 oleate, potassium cocoate, potassium olivate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, sucrose palmitate) 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
