Original Plastic-Free Baby Wipes
WaterWipes remains the gold standard for purity, containing only 99.9% purified water and a drop of fruit extract. Their recent transition to 100% biodegradable, plastic-free viscose material addresses previous environmental concerns without compromising the minimalist formula.
Quality & Materials
Contains 99.9% water and 0.1% Citrus Grandis (grapefruit) seed extract. The extract acts as a natural skin conditioner and mild antimicrobial agent.
Evidence & Testing
The only baby wipe to be accepted by the National Eczema Association and certified by the Skin Health Alliance. Clinical studies published in the Journal of Inflammation Regeneration and Therapy support its use on newborn skin.
Brand Transparency
Full ingredient disclosure is simple due to the minimalist formula. Manufacturing occurs in a cleanroom environment in Ireland to prevent contamination.
Value Assessment
Priced higher than bulk brands, but provides the highest safety profile for newborns and infants with eczema or diaper rash.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'sensitive' competitors like Pampers Pure or Huggies Natural Care still contain pH buffers, surfactants, and preservatives like Sodium Benzoate which can irritate compromised skin barriers. WaterWipes eliminates these entirely.
