A long time ago (maybe 10 years ago), I bought a box of Nikon Lens Wipes. Over time, I used some, and the rest gradually dried up inside their sealed packets. So, I decided it was time for some new wipes. This time, I ordered Zeiss Lens Wipes. See attached photo. Except for package graphics, the containers are almost identical in style and size. Both are made in China. The Zeiss holds 220 instead of 200, but, for essentially the same price, I could have bought a package of Zeiss with 200, also. I'm leaving the cellophane on until I need some. I think this is kind of curious. Do Nikon and Zeiss order from the same place? Or, do they license their brand? Are there any differences between the wipes?
I've used the Zeiss brand for decades. Nothing wrong with them.

Are the ingredients listed on both boxes?

If Nikon and Zeiss were using the same manufacturer, why would that be a scandal?

There seems to be camera lens left out of their description.
Flents WIPE'N Lens Wipes, Clear
Ideal for cleaning all types of eyeglasses. The soft, quilted lens wipes are individually wrapped and are great for travel and on-the-go convenience.
The 75 count boxes are ideal for leaving in the places you need to clean your glasses the most – car, office, bedroom, living room. The anti-streak formula lifts off smudges, dust, lint and dries very quickly.
SOFTER WIPE: Wood pulp based
USE on Eyewear, Smartphones, Computer Screens, TV Screens, Video Game Screens, Car Screens & Mirrors, CDs, & DVDs
ANTI-STREAK
FAST DRYING FORMULA
5" x 6" wipes
All you really need is a microfiber and some 98% iso.
Though I could see having a few packets lying around for field trips that get out of hand.

Hopefully, one of these companies will soon come clean.
