What the product description says
“Hydrating Micellar Cleansing Pads”
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 (cetrimonium bromide, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides) 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.

Peg-6 caprylic/capric glyceridesEffect: HighHelps dissolve other ingredients~3.1–4.6%
Cetrimonium bromideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Also helps to preserve products~0.05–0.1%
