Who Are Alcohol-Free Baby Wipes Suitable For?

“Alcohol-free” is one label attribute that shoppers may consider when choosing baby wipes. It does not mean that a product is suitable for every person or every use. Always read the complete packaging label, ingredients, fragrance information, intended body area and product instructions.

What does an alcohol-free label tell you?

It means the product information states that alcohol is not included. This statement should come from the packaging label or current product information. It does not prove that the product cannot cause irritation or that every formula is the same.

What else should be checked?

Check whether the wipes are scented or unscented, review the ingredient list, identify the intended body area and follow the stated directions. A named fragrance should be treated as a scented product.

Extra care for newborns, sensitive skin and unusual skin conditions

Do not assume a minimum age from the words “baby wipes.” For newborns, sensitive skin or an existing skin concern, check the exact label and ask a qualified healthcare professional when appropriate.

Try a small amount first and observe

For first use, apply a small amount on a limited area and observe. Stop using the product if irritation continues or worsens, and seek advice from a qualified professional when needed.

Use labels and product pages as the final reference

Formula statements can differ between products. Packaging labels and the current product page are the final reference. Product pages whose current source information explicitly states alcohol-free include Lavender Baby Wipes 500 Sheets, Jasmine Baby Wipes 1000 Sheets and Gentle Baby Wipes 1040 Sheets.
