i feel the list is incomplete (which lots of manufacturers consciously do)
but, the silicates have dehydrating properties
"trace elements" can mean lots of stuff, including elements with pro-oxidative properties

maybe you can check other cleansers?
on the other hand, if your skin feels well with using it, you may consider keeping on using it, and paying close attantion to your skin's response to this product in the future; it often takes a while before your skin reacts adversely
