What the product description says
“Utilising a patented anti-irritant TLR2 complex and soothing Uriage Thermal Water, the gentle cream works to cleanse and purify your little one's scalp, whilst rebalancing the skin's flora to eliminate cradle cap.”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polysorbate 60, 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.

Polysorbate 60Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.1–1.6%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.45–1.1%
