What the product description says
“Limited-Edition YTTP x KOI Superfood Cleanser”
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 (cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, decyl glucoside, polysorbate 20, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sorbeth-230 tetraoleate, sorbitan laurate) 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: decyl glucoside

Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaineEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together~8–9.7%
Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~4.5–5.5%
Sorbeth-230 tetraoleateEffect: High~2.2–2.7%
Polysorbate 20Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.9–2.3%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~0.5–0.75%
Sorbitan laurateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~0.35–0.65%
