Who knows.
All I can say is that I use pretty much daily, it cleans up most of the stuff it claims to and doesn't ruin the skin on my hands. When I have to use harsher cleaning chemicals I almost always wind up feeling sick and the skin on my hands Is prone to splitting for weeks after.
Edit @mespilus knows a lot about chemistry and chemicals maybe he can make sense of this
Or I could spend some time familiarising myself with the COSHH sheet (unlikely to happen).

Your faith in my fading memory and distant experience is touching,
but,
I had a few minutes.
The Pareth is the chemical industry's answer to consumers avoiding (ethoxyated) sulphates as the main detergent. Sodium lauryl (C12) sulphate would be 2 or 3 mole ethylene oxide.
This Pareth is C9-C11, so needs more ethylene 0xide, (the '8'), to get the same detergency.The trio of 'dimethyls' are 'oily' degreasers/solvents, with low volatility, and not much potential to damage skin.
The Peg 40 helps to emulsify the 'dimethyls' into the main ingredient - water.
The Limonene should give the product a citrus smell
and
there are a couple of modern preservatives.
Truly a new generation cleaner spurred on by progressively tightening legislation.

Wonder what's in that stuff that allows it to clean all that shit off but is still ok to spray on hands?!
