Summary A newborn's skin is extremely fragile. This guide helps you choose the best wipes, whether disposable or washable, while considering the composition, uses, and recommendations for healthcare professionals and private label brands.
Why choosing wipes is crucial for newborns
Newborn skin is five times thinner than adult skin. It is permeable, reactive, and still immature. Choosing the wrong wipe can lead to redness, irritation, or skin allergies. That's why healthcare professionals recommend:
- products alcohol-free,
- fragrance-free,
- And enriched with soothing agents like aloe vera or chamomile.
The two main families of baby wipes
1. Disposable wet wipes
They are practical for everyday use, especially when going out. However, they must meet certain criteria:
- a short formula, avoid phenoxyethanols and other harsh preservatives,
- a soft and durable fabric, generally made of natural fibers,
- A hygienic packaging, well resealable.

2. Washable wipes
An eco-friendly alternative, they are often used at home. Made from organic cotton, bamboo, or eucalyptus, they allow for gentle cleansing with a little water or liniment.
However, their use requires more logistics (cleaning, drying, transport).
Recommendations for professionals and private label brands
For distributors or groups wishing to launch a range of wipes for newborns, here are some best practices:
- Favor a minimalist formula, dermatologically tested
- Highlighting the origin of the fibers and biodegradability
- Choosing hygienic packaging and practical
- Ensure CE compliance whether the product is intended for hospital or medical use
