MamaEarth Bamboo Based Baby Wipes

Hey guys

So whenever we talk about baby essentials , baby wipes tops our list . But while buying them , our checklist mostly includes them to be alcohol free , parabens free and sometimes fragrance free .

But like diapers , do we ever realise that they degrade our environment as much as the disposable diapers . And though we have moved to the cloth diapering big time , have we ever thought of moving towards organic diapers .

Well we haven't because we never came across such product . But wonderful and ever innovative people of Mamaearth have now come up with Asia's first organic bamboo based wipes which are certified safe .

Background of Baby wipes

Well let's cover a little about what goes into making baby wipes . 

Baby wipes are made from Non-woven fabrics. The Non-woven fabrics are made through a process where a single sheet of materials is pressed and formed from a mass of separate fibres such as cotton and rayon as well as plastic resins like polyester , polyethylene and polypropylene. These wipes are then saturated with gentle cleansing ingredients .

Since the base material in most of the wipes consist of polyester , it makes them a environmental hazard and further polyester is made up of harmful chemicals including carcinogens which is very harmful for the skin ( If you google more on the effects of polyester , you will be scared to death).

Why Bamboo based wipes are better alternative 

Cellulose fibre made from bamboo is a bio based material and very soft in texture . They are 100% biodegradable making them environment friendly 

Why Mamaearth Bamboo based wipes

Mamaearth Organic bamboo based wipes are made from 100% organic bamboo and enriched with Vitamin E, Aloe Vera , Shea butter and Almond oil . Since they are made up of all natural items and are hypoallergenic , the likeliness of them causing rashes to the baby skin is almost zero .

I have finished the whole packet of their wipes and did not experience any side effects .

Further since they are unbleached and does not contain any chemical solutions for moisturisation , they can be safely used on the private parts , hands and even on the mouth of the baby .

The packaging is durable and the packet comes with a protective lid which helps in keeping the wipes moisturised even after the seal has been opened.

I loved the texture of the wipes . Unlike other wipes , they are thick enough and does not tear and soft enough to feel like a Muslin cloth against the baby's skin.

However the one thing I  think can be improved is the level of moisturisation and wetness . I found them less moist and at times difficult to wipe the sticky things off the skin.

Nonetheless the benefits of bamboo based origin surpass quite many things and I can safely say that these wipes will now become constant in our household for many years 

.

So have you guys tried Mamaearth Wipes yet ? How was your experience with it and which baby wipes are you goto product . Would love to hear all about it in the comments below .

Till then,

Ciao
