Organic Baby Wipes
Conventional Baby WipesÂ
Avoid conventional baby wipes made with plastic, and other toxic materials or ingredients such as:
- ââ Bleaching agent: conventional wipes are bleached with chlorine, sulfates, or other harsh chemicals. The residue from these bleaching agents causes skin irritation and environmental pollution.
- ââ Perfume & alcohol: toxic and irritantÂ
- ââ Preservatives: Parabens, Methylisothiazolinone (MIT)
- ââ Conventional cotton: it is the worldâs dirtiest crop and uses 16% of the world’s pesticides.Â
- ââ Ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane contaminants introduced during the manufacturing process
- ââ Quaternary ammonium compounds (Quats): can trigger asthma or skin allergies in some people. Especially benzalkonium chloride which has been identified as risky by the California Department of Toxic Substance Control. Avoid: âquaterniumâ in the name followed by a number (such as quaternium-17), or â . . . onium chlorideâ in the ingredient name (such as benzalkonium chloride).
- â PET Plastic wet wipes: (polyethylene terephthalate) are often used in plastic bottles and polyestertoxic and polluting, If a wipe doesnât tell you what itâs made from, assume that itâs made from PET or polypropyleneâand skip it.
Greenwashing Baby Wipes
Avoid greenwashing baby wipes that claim to be eco-friendly, organic, or safe when they contain controversial or toxic ingredients and polluting materials.
- â Preservatives: Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate
- â Ethylhexylglycerin: is derived from glycerine, obtained mainly from soybean or palm.
- ââ Non-biodegradable wipes: Incorrectly flushed or thrown away items are found polluting the coastlines across the world.Â
Organic Baby Wipes
I listed on this page the safest baby wipes on the market!
The best baby wipes are made with 100% biodegradable material and safer ingredients.
-
â GOTS Certified Organic Cotton: the best options are certified organic cotton dry wipes and handmade organic soap with organic ingredients, the recipe is below. Organic cotton doesnât use fertilizers or pesticides and has a 45% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 90% reduction in water usage.Â
-
â Bamboo Baby Wipes: Bamboo fibers do not require a bleaching process because they contain a natural anti-bacterial agent known as Bamboo-Kun. â
Homemade Wet Baby Wipes Recipe
Making your own baby wipes at home allows you to be in control of what you are putting on your baby’s skin, control the freshness of the products, avoid any preservatives, avoid tossing expired wipes, monitor the use of liquid part to avoid product waste, and it will also save money and energy from shipping dry wipes versus water-wet wipes.
Here is how to quickly and easily make your own:
Add water at home to make your own!
Â
-
Take a handful of organic cotton dry wipes out of the box (a few days’ worth), and place them into a glass or stainless steel container. (avoid plastic)
-
Mix 1c distilled or boiling water, 1 tbsp Earth Mama Castile Soap, and 1 tbsp Calendula Baby Oil. Slowly pour filtered water onto the dry wipes so they are saturated with water.
-
The best way to store any extra wipes, put them in a cool, dry place, away from the sun. Note that homemade wipes only last a few days, depending on how you store them.
-
To bring them on the go, put these organic homemade wet wipes with you on the go, in a silicone bag, and make sure the bag is closed well. My favorite silicone bag not made in China is Zip Top

â Burt's Bee: Greenwashing
Clorox, a company that makes bleach and countless other chemicals, bought Burtâs Bees in 2007 for an astounding $925M. Burt was even bought out of any ownership in his company in 1999 in exchange for a house valued at only $130,000 and some other minor compensation!Â
Plus Burt's Bees has been independently tested and they found PFAS in their products.Â
"Burtâs Bees Products Company and the Clorox Company have been accused of manufacturing cosmetic products containing âforever chemicalsâ. This accusation follows similar complaints about a number of long-lasting and waterproof makeup products from multiple manufacturers including Loreal, and Maybelline. Cover Girl and others."
In addition to previous lawsuits filed against national cosmetics companies, Burtâs Bees and Clorox may be facing a new round of lawsuits over its failure to disclose that some of its makeup or cosmetic products contain polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known to be toxic to humans. PFAS have also become known as âforever chemicalsâ as they do not break down easily, either in the environment or in the body and stick around âforeverâ
A class-action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit claims the products have been independently tested and found to contain PFAS which are not listed on product labeling and that the company used false or deceptive advertising.
