Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is a foaming, cleansing, and emulsifying ingredient. It is created from palm kernel oil or coconut oil. SLES is not the same as sodium lauryl sulfate. It is much milder and less likely to irritate.

Lactic Acid is an AHA that is derived from fermenting lactose, a carbohydrate from milk. It removes the top layer of old and dead skin cells and helps increase cell turnover.

Potassium Sorbate is a preservative used to prevent yeast and mold in products. It is commonly found in both cosmetic and food products.

Propylene Glycol is an odorless, colorless liquid. As a humectant, it helps skin retain moisture. It also aids in delivering active ingredients.

I'm gonna be honest, I wasn't impressed by this product at all.
It's very drying (i have combination skin) and leave a sort of barrier on the skin, which is probably residue. It has a strong smell of coconut, that some may like.
Only really positive is that it lathers nicely and a little bit goes a long way.
Basically, I won't be repurchasing and it's probably cause it's not for my skin at all.
