What the product description says
“Cream Care Cleansing Wipes”
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 (lanolin alcohol, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate) 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.

Lanolin alcoholEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~2–3.1%
Polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~1.2–1.9%
