15/10/2024

Did you know that WaterWipes® are one of the most globally trusted skincare brands?

But don't just take our word for it. WaterWipes have been dermatologically accredited by the Skin Health Alliance as suitable for premature, newborn and sensitive skin, and are proven to be purer than cotton wool and water. WaterWipes is the only wipe brand certified microbiome-friendly by MyMicrobiome.

WaterWipes® are so gentle they're even suitable for premature baby skin. WaterWipes are recommended by midwives and other healthcare professionals globally and have become the preferred wipe for many Neonatal Intensive Care Units throughout Ireland, the UK, Portugal, Italy, Germany, the USA, Australia and New Zealand.

  • The French Association for the Prevention of Allergies (Association Française pur la Prévention des Allergies - AFPRAL)

  • Eczema Association of Australasia (EAA) sponsorship

  • The Vegan Society

So, how do we do it?

As the world's purest baby wipes, WaterWipes® Original are made with just two ingredients

Whereas other baby wipes contain up to 16 ingredients, WaterWipes® Original plant-based* and plastic free** wipes have just two:

Ingredients:

  1. Water (Aqua) 99.9%

  2. Citrus Grandis (grapefruit) seed extract

Our special formula lets us clean effectively without additional ingredients found in other baby wipes, like surfactants, emollients, emulsifiers, and PH buffers.

*Wipe made from regenerated cellulose (viscose) utilizing wood pulp as a precursor.

**The claim does not refer to the full product lifecycle nor the external plastic packing and relates to the wipes only.

†You may have seen on our packaging that WaterWipes® contain trace amounts of Benzalkonium Chloride (BAK). This is nothing to worry about. It's found in many baby products, and they're still safe for your little one.

Our unique water technology for effective cleaning

We achieve this through our unique water purification technology. This 7-step process removes impurities while softening and purifying the water. As well as being extremely gentle on babies' skin, the result is a deeper and more effective clean*, as our water can reach pores and crevices that cooled boiled water can't - without leaving a residue on the skin.

This is what makes WaterWipes unique, even when compared with other "99% water" baby wipes.
