Wet baby wipes are pre-moistened cloths commonly used for cleaning and hygienic purposes, particularly for infants. These wipes are designed to provide an efficient, convenient solution for cleaning babies' delicate skin, offering an alternative to traditional methods like water and soap. Typically made from a combination of non-woven fabrics and various soothing ingredients, such as terminalia Arjuna, papaya seed powder and vitamins, wet baby wipes are formulated to be gentle and safe for sensitive skin. The wipes are soaked in a mild cleaning solution containing water, surfactants, preservatives, and moisturizing agents to cleanse, hydrate, and protect the skin. They offer a practical solution for on-the-go diaper changes, quick clean-ups, and even in cases where water access is limited. The widespread use of wet baby wipes has raised concerns about their environmental impact, particularly in relation to their disposal, as many contain non-biodegradable materials. Consequently, the industry is increasingly focusing on developing more sustainable alternatives, such as biodegradable wipes, to address these concerns while maintaining their practical benefits.
