Have you been experiencing sleepless nights, worrying about baby wipes and which ones to use for your child’s face? Well, if that’s your concern then we are here to help! A parent’s concerns around their baby are huge. To say the least – what products to use, what food to give, and so much more. And a very worrying problem new parents face is which wipes are safest for their little one’s delicate skin. 

So in this article, we will highlight the different categories of baby wipes – natural baby wipes, disposable wipes, and others, and discuss which ones are safest for your baby’s face. So let’s get started! 

What Are The Types Of Baby Wipes Available? 

• Natural Wipes 

Natural baby wipes have become a favorite in recent times due to the various benefits they provide to a toddler’s soft skin. They are much better than other alternatives as they are made with lesser chemicals and more natural ingredients. Most of these natural wipes use natural soothing ingredients like lavender or Aloe Vera instead of perfumes, alcohol, or chlorine that irritate the baby’s skin.

• Regular Disposable Wipes

Regular disposable wipes have been used for generations and are readily available in super-packs. However, due to their low production quality, they are papery and ineffective and contain cheaper ingredients that might irritate a baby’s soft skin.

• Cloth Wipes 

Cloth wipes are handy for several reasons. They are reusable and economical in the longer run – you won’t have to go through several wipes during your baby’s every diaper change! Cloth wipes are also sturdier than the others, so you do not have to face any rips during messy clean-ups.

• Water-Based Wipes 

Water-based wipes are exactly what they sound like – 99% made of water with a hint of natural oil or fruit extract to soothe your baby’s skin. While they are costly, they are perfect for babies with extra-sensitive skin or any particular skin condition.

Now that you are aware of the different kinds of wipes let’s look at the ones suitable for your baby’s face.

What Are The Types Safe For Your Baby’s Face?

The safest ones for your baby’s face are the natural ones. Why? Because of the more natural ingredients they have, the fewer the chemicals and the lesser the chances of reaction with your baby’s face!

Your baby’s skin is extremely delicate, so it is not uncommon for their skin to react with certain ingredients found in particular baby wipes. Thus, their skin might break out with rashes. But do not panic as it is not as scary as you think. All you have to do in such a situation is to put gentle lotion or balm on your baby’s skin to soothe the rashes while immediately changing the wipe brand. But since this problem keeps arising with regular wipes, parents are now slowly shifting to natural baby products. 

This is because natural baby products like natural baby wipes are made with organic ingredients that are much safer and gentler on your baby’s skin – be it on their face or anywhere else on their body. Super soft, made with natural ingredients, and almost chemical-free, natural baby wipes are a blessing for every parent and baby! 

Conclusion 

Nothing is as sensitive as your baby’s soft skin, so you must use only the best wipes for their face and body. While it does not mean getting the most expensive one on the market, it just refers to natural wipes with fewer chemicals. So get natural baby wipes from your nearest baby store now!
