Honestly, all baby wipes looked the same to me. Being a first-time mom, I must admit that I bought any baby wipes brand that was conveniently available in the nearby store, and I got whatever was the cheapest among the available baby wipes brands. Why would I care too much about baby wipes when I just used them to wipe baby’s poop? 😅 💩

What I didn’t realize was that the substances found in these baby wipes actually kiss my child’s skin!

We all know that a child’s skin, especially the skin of newborn and toddlers, is highly sensitive.  If we’re not careful with what we use on our children’s skin, chemicals in the wipes may trigger allergic reactions.

Studies, likewise, suggest that permeation of a substance through the skin is possible, depending upon a number of factors. So though we can never be 100% sure if substances on baby wipes will be absorbed by the skin, as moms, we’re better off avoiding all known harmful chemicals on the products used by our children.

Though almost all baby brands in the market nowadays claim to be natural or organic, that doesn’t mean that the baby wipes are 100% chemical-free.  It might be an OC thing to do, but next time you check baby wipes brands, look at the contents at the back of the packaging.

My millennial hobby which is Google searching led me to read articles that discuss harmful chemicals on some baby wipes. You may check out an article from dailymail.co.uk here, as well as this study from pediatrics.aappublications.org.  Below are some of the chemicals which may cause irritation on a child’s sensitive skin:

• Phenoxyethanol – is said to trigger conditions such as eczema and other respiratory health problems
• Malic acid
• Propylene glycol
• Tocopheryl acetate
• Methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone – a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis

Based on online articles I’ve read, these ingredients may cause no problems in general, but children with sensitive skin may react to any of these chemicals. But then, why would we take the risk if there’s an option of using a product that doesn’t contain any of those harmful chemicals?

Good thing I learned about Kindercare’s Ultra Safe Baby Wipes.  The brand’s claim is “Absolutely Zero Harmful Chemicals”.

I felt and smelled a sheet of Ultra Safe Baby Wipes, and I was confident that it really has absolutely zero harmful chemicals.  Unlike other baby wipes brands we’ve tried, Ultra Safe Baby Wipes by KinderCare does not have a sticky, slimy feel and it doesn’t have scent.

After one week of using it on my toddler, I must say that it’s very gentle on my daughter’s sensitive skin. 😊 No rashes or other skin irritations!
