What the product description says
“Poligyn 15 Cleansing Intimate 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 (cocamidopropyl betaine, magnesium laureth sulfate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, sodium cocoamphoacetate) 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

Magnesium laureth sulfateEffect: High~7.4–11.1%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~1.7–2.6%
Peg-40 hydrogenated castor oilEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.5–1.15%
Sodium cocoamphoacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Creates foam~0.5–1.1%
