What the product description says
“Facial Cleansing Towelettes for Normal Skin White Tea Extract”
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, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, 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.

Polyglyceryl-4 caprateEffect: High~1.2–1.8%
Disodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and works as a cleansing agent~1–1.6%
Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.9–1.3%
