What the product description says
“Nourishing, creamy formula gently cleanses and indulges skin leaving it feeling supple, soft, and silky.”
Source: Dermstore

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, disodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-glucoside

Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~5–7.5%
Disodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and works as a cleansing agent~2.1–3.2%
Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.9–1.35%
