The Top 7 Eco-Friendly Baby Wipes For Your Baby
We are definitely looking forward to the new experiences in our life when the baby arrives. We are preparing for the sleepless nights and the exhausting marathon of the first few years. However, we are also looking forward to the fun and fulfilling part of being a parent. We cannot wait to experience watching our little one play, learn, and grow before our eyes. It is going to be a once in a lifetime experience.
We are very particular about what we will buy for our baby. We have been reading about all aspects of baby care. One big takeaway from our research has been the importance of hygiene. Babies are messy little things. They need to be wiped for any lingering fluids in contact with its skin for too long or else it can lead to rashes. It is always a good idea to keep a handful of wipes ready to make sure nothing is going to trouble your precious little one. They can also pull double duty as moisturizing wipes if you buy the right ones. So armed with the knowledge from our reading we set out to buy the perfect eco-friendly baby wipes that we could find on Amazon.
Seventh Generation Baby Wipes, Free & Clear Unscented and Sensitive
These are thick and soft wipes that are gentle on sensitive skin. You can use them on the sensitive parts of the body without any fear. Seventh Generation is a trusted brand that has popped up on several of these lists in the past. These wipes have no scent of their own. You might want to keep some baby powder handy if you want to use these but prefer some sort of fragrance afterward. These eco-friendly baby wipes are also alcohol-free, paraben-free, and phenoxyethanol free. The fabric of the wipes is made from a blend of wood fibers.
Mum & You Biodegradable and Compostable Plastic Free Baby Wet Wipes
These are completely biodegradable wipes made from a 98% water-soluble material made from plant fibers. No plastic is used in their manufacture.

The materials are picked to be naturally hypoallergenic. If you are vegan, these are perfect because of their plant-based composition. The company behind these is part of the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) which promotes sustainable forestation. The products are not tested on animals and made in a completely cruelty-free manner.
Caboo Tree-Free Bamboo Baby Wipes
If the cute panda in a bamboo forest on the packaging doesn’t give it away, we should tell you that these eco-friendly baby wipes made from 99.3% viscose derived from sustainably grown bamboo. A big benefit to growing bamboo products is that bamboo grows back very fast compared to trees. Usually, in 3-4 months, bamboo trees are back to their fully mature state. It is this efficiency in growing that makes them much more eco friendly than regular trees. The benefits of bamboo are also repeated often by us. It is still worth to mention that these wipes are alcohol-free, chlorine-free, paraben-free, formaldehyde-free, and phthalates free owing to the materials chosen. The factories of the company behind this product are also accredited by BRC, FSC, FDA, and ISO certifications. A great and eco-friendly pick for bamboo lovers.

They are hypoallergenic and certified by dermatologists. They are 99% water-soluble infused with the goodness of aloe vera and vitamin E. The wipes are manufactured wholly in the USA from imported materials. We like the simple and clean packaging. These are great even for adults.
ATTITUDE Biodegradable Baby Wipes for Sensitive Skin
These are safe eco-friendly baby wipes with a unique Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) seal of approval.

We like the assurance of such an experienced group behind this product. They are also made using best practices that are recommended by EWG VERIFIED criteria. These wipes are made from sustainable cellulose fibers which makes them biodegradable and compostable. They are CO2 neutral, safe for septic tanks, vegan & cruelty-free. They also come in at a very affordable price for the value they bring.

The raw materials for these ones are obtained keeping in mind FSC standards for sustainable forestry. These are fully 100% biodegradable. They decompose within 28 days of disposal. They’re pH balanced, chlorine-free, dye-free, and alcohol-free. They are a little on the expensive side and don’t have enough reviews on the Amazon store but we wouldn’t mind giving the product a try.
Bum Boosa Bamboo Baby Wipes
To end on a high note, let’s bring back bamboo for another run. These bamboo wipes are imported. They also have a price to match. You are paying a premium for these but you get a lot in return. Firstly, they are made from 100% bamboo viscose. They are infused with aloe vera, calendula extract, chamomile extract, and pure grade essential oils. Calendula and chamomile oil have antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. They are used in treating diaper rash and soothing eczema. There is no alcohol, paraben, phthalate, and sulfate used in the manufacture of these wipes. The scent is all-natural. If you can afford these and overlook the price, these are the best on our list.
Keeping the baby clean is a job half done to keep the baby safe. Humans have been raising babies for hundreds of thousands of years. We want to pick the most eco-friendly baby wipes but it also doesn’t hurt to just bite the bullet on a pick and not overthink it. If you end up using any of these, let us know your experience. We would love to learn more about them!
