What the product description says
“CLEAN DEW FOAM CLEANSER”
Source: Lila Beauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, lauric acid, myristic acid, peg-100 stearate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, polysorbate 20, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate) 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.
