What the product description says
“UNSCENTED WIPES: Clean and soften delicate skin with Burt's Bees non-irritating, fragrance free wipes that provide gentle comfort and lasting relief”
Source: Walgreens

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl glutamate) 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.

Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.45–1.1%
Disodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and works as a cleansing agent~0.35–0.75%
