What the product description says
“It removes make-up while perfectly respecting the sensitive skins.”
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 (coco-betaine, hexylene glycol, poloxamer 184, polysorbate 20) 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: coco-betaine

Hexylene glycolEffect: HighHelps create a more spreadable product texture~6.4–9.6%
Polysorbate 20Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~3.4–5.1%
Poloxamer 184Effect: High~2.4–3.7%
Coco-betaineEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Can be allergenic~1.2–1.8%
