Amongst all the baby essentials that I use, one thing that I just can’t do without is baby wipes. Be it to clean the baby’s face or bums or removing the food stains- wipes are one handy option. They are a quick and easy solution to clean all the mess created by the baby. I use baby wipes liberally and usually don’t step out of the house without one pack in my bag.

Eye-opening Facts About Baby Wipes

There is no doubt that baby wipes are a super convenient option. But recently I came across a few eye-opening facts about baby wipes that left me aghast. I realised that the wipes I usually use has the base material, POLYESTER which not only pollute seas and clogs drain but also take hundreds of years to decompose landfill. Most of the baby wipes available in the market contain ‘Phenoxyethanol’, an ingredient linked to skin conditions like eczema. Infact some of the baby wipes also include alcohol and other preservatives which are not recommended to be used on the child’s delicate skin.

Facts like these got me thinking. .On one hand we ensure our kids live in a clean and green environment, on the other we are using products that are adverse to the same. Thankfully I came across one brand that thinks on the same lines and provides a safer and eco-friendly alternative.
