What does the product description say?

Makeup Remover Towelettes

Source: From product name

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, olive oil peg-7 esters, peg-8 caprylic/capric glycerides, polysorbate 20, tin) 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: decyl glucoside

decyl glucoside 2.2% - 3.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating

olive oil peg-7 esters 2.5% - 3.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent

peg-8 caprylic/capric glycerides 4.9% - 7.3%

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Anti-blemish

What does the product description say?
