Harmful Preservatives
Found in Baby Wipes
3,000 DIAPER CHANGES IN THE FIRST YEAR!
Parents make an average of 3,000 diaper changes in baby’s first year. One wipe for wet, two or three wipes for soiled bottoms, that’s about 20 baby wipes per day, over 140 per week, nearly 600 per month. Not to mention all the wipes you’ll use to clean little hands and faces. With that much contact with your baby’s skin, parents need to be sure that the wipes they’re using are soft, gentle and safe!

EWG rates phenoxyethanol a level 4 out of 10 hazard and warns that it’s irritating to skin, eyes, and lungs.
SODIUM BENZOATE
I discovered that many wipes contain sodium benzoate, and that people who are hypersensitive may experience allergic reaction, hives, or asthmatic attack. My baby was only 3 months old? How was I supposed to know what he is “hypersensitive” to?SODIUM BENZOATE
I discovered that many wipes contain sodium benzoate, and that people who are hypersensitive may experience allergic reaction, hives, or asthmatic attack. My baby was only 3 months old? How was I supposed to know what he is “hypersensitive” to? A more common problem, however, is the combination of sodium benzoate and citric acid and/or ascorbic acid (vitamin C). When these ingredients get together, they form benzene, a cancer-causing chemical associated with leukemia and other blood cancers.
METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE (MI)
Methylisothiazolinone, also known simply as MI, has been rated a 7 out of 10 on the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep chemical assessment. According to ewg.org, Methylisothiazolinone...METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE (MI)
Methylisothiazolinone, also known simply as MI, has been rated a 7 out of 10 on the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep chemical assessment.
According to ewg.org, Methylisothiazolinone is a widely-used preservative; has been associated with allergic reactions.
Lab studies on the brain cells of mammals also suggest that methylisothiazolinone may be neurotoxic.
