What does the product description say?
Grapefruit & Verbena Water Activated Foaming Cleansing 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 (cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl dimethylamine, decyl glucoside, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, laureth-3, lauryl glucoside, peg-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, ppg-2 hydroxyethyl cocamide, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium laurate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, trisodium sulfosuccinate) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl dimethylamine, decyl glucoside, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate
