What the product description says
“Cleansing Shower Wash with Pure Himalayan Salt Minerals”
Source: Mankind

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, peg-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside

Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~8.5–12.7%
Disodium laureth sulfosuccinateEffect: High~3.7–5.6%
