First of all, as a cleanser for sensitive skin, they should not have put fragrance in it.

The surfactants, i.e. cleansing agents, used in this products are ALMOST gentle, except for the third ingredient, sodium laureth sulfate. SLS is a strong cleansing and foaming agent often used in detergent. It could be extremely drying and cause skin sentisization. Furthermore, SLS denatures skin proteins which not only causes irritation, but also exposes deeper layers of the skin to hostile environment.
