What the product description says
“Enriched with glycerin and beeswax, it gently cleanses without drying, removes makeup and moisturizes.”
Source: Cocoon Center

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cera alba, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, isohexadecane, peg-100 stearate, polysorbate 60, sorbitan isostearate, 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.
