What does the product description say?
Active Renewal Cleanser™
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, glyceryl stearate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, 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.
