Water Wipes and Sensitive Skin
Newborn skin is more permeable than adult skin - it absorbs more of what is applied to it, reacts more readily to fragrances and chemicals, and is generally less forgiving of products that barely register on adult skin.
Water wipes, made with 99 to 99.5 per cent water and minimal additional ingredients, are the gentlest choice for the newborn period and for babies with sensitive or eczema-prone skin. Some water wipes include ceramides - naturally occurring lipids that support the skin barrier - meaning the wipe actively benefits the skin rather than simply cleaning it.
If your baby's skin reacts easily, that distinction is worth paying attention to when choosing between options in the range.
Eco Wipes and the Biodegradable Choice
Standard baby wipes are made from plastic fibres - they don't biodegrade, and across thousands of nappy changes, they represent a real environmental impact. Eco and biodegradable alternatives use plant-based or natural fibre materials that break down after use, removing the most persistent element of the wipe without sacrificing convenience.
Dry wipes take this a step further - chemical-free cloths used wet with water or as a light dry wipe. They last longer per pack than standard wipes and give you full control over what goes onto your baby's skin at every change. For parents who want to reduce both plastic and unnecessary ingredients, a dry wipe used with water is as close to the minimum footprint as the format allows.
Travel Wipes, Warmers and Dispensers
A wipe warmer is a small convenience that makes a noticeable difference during cold morning changes - a cold wipe on a sleepy baby triggers a protest that wakes the whole household. At skin temperature, a wipe is a kinder start to a change that neither of you particularly wanted to be doing at 6 am.
Travel wipe cases keep a pocket-sized supply accessible without needing the full pack to come out of the bag every time - the format that actually works for quick access on the go rather than the full 70-pack on the park bench.
