What the product description says
“Hand & Face Cleansing Wipes, Oat Extract Fragrance-Free”
Source: Walgreens

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, lauryl glucoside) 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: coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate

Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~2.2–3.3%
Glyceryl oleateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~1.6–2.4%
CarbomerEffect: HighHelps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations~0.9–1.35%
Lauryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.85–1.3%
