Baby wipes: The ultimate mama must-have. Perfect not only for tiny bottoms, but for cleaning dirty fingers, sticky faces, spilled milk, and for wiping away pretty much any household mess that #momlife can throw your way.

But with recent studies suggesting that the use of infant cleansing wipes that leave soap on the skin may contribute to rising allergy rate, you might be asking yourself: what are the best natural baby wipes? And do they actually work?

We know decisions like these can feel overwhelming, mama, so we’ve gotten to the bottom of it for you (see what we did there?) with our go-to list of the best natural baby wipes. The wipes we’ve chosen are all free of harsh chemicals, alcohol and fragrance and all rate high with the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, while still getting the job done. From Water Wipes to Honest Company baby wipes, we’ve rounded up some of our personal favorite eco friendly baby wipes to stock up on.

Here are the best natural baby wipes for all of life’s messiest moments!

dyper baby wipes

$3.98

Dyper

The ultra-soft wipes from Dyper are made from sustainable bamboo and free of all the yucky stuff. Even better? This eco-friendly diaper subscription company launched the first ever compostable diaper service called REDYPER. For an added fee, they’ll provide you with the bags, boxes and prepaid shipping labels to safely pack up and transfer your used diapers to TerraCycle and put them to good use—such as helping to grow vegetation in highway medians. Price is per pack.

Coterie The Wipe

$30

Coterie

From their ridiculously luxe 2-in-1 diaper-pant which we swear by for wiggly, on-the-go toddlers to their commitment to sustainability, there’s a lot to love about Coterie. So it’s no surprise their biodegradable, 100% natural wipes make our list. They’re larger than most, making changes thorough and efficient with just single wipe and they’ve even earned the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance as well.

Price is for 4 packs.

healthynest baby wipes

$28

Healthybaby

The 100% plant-based and EWG-verified natural wipes from Healthybaby are setting a new standard for baby care. The brand, launched by the folks at Happy Family Organics clearly knows a thing or two about giving babies the healthiest start possible—and it shows. The wipes are not only ultra-soft and free of chemicals, parabens, sulfates, alcohol and fragrance—they’re also made in California with a Rainforest Alliance Certified partner. Great for the earth, great for baby bottoms. What more can you ask for?

ecoriginals wipes

$46.99

Ecoriginals

Of course, there are plenty of eco-conscious brands changing the diapering landscape, but perhaps none more so than Australian brand Ecorginals. And after being adored by parents in Australia and New Zealand for the past decade, they’re finally available in US. What makes Ecoriginals so special? Plenty. As the world’s first and only plastic-neutral diapers and wipes company, they’ve spent the last ten years tirelessly researching, developing and redeveloping their products. The result? Simple, effective wipes that not only nurture bottoms but the planet as well. Available in three varieties (purified water, manuka honey and goat milk) they’re all biodegradable and made from certified organic ingredients to protect and soothe delicate skin.

waterwipes baby wipes

$12.69

WaterWipes

Dubbed “the world’s purest baby wipes,” Water Wipes contain exactly two ingredients: 99.9% purified water + a drop of fruit extract. You can’t get much purer than that! The wipes are fragrance and alcohol free, yet still soft and absorbent. They’re perfect for diaper changes and safe enough to use just about anywhere on baby (or mama!), from her face all the way down to her toes.

Eco Pea Bamboo Wipes

$7.49

Eco Pea Co.

Super plush and as soft as the skin you’re caring for, these bamboo wipes are about as luxurious as baby wipes can be. They’re sustainably made from bamboo and totally fragrance-and-chemical-free, which makes them a top choice for sensitive skin. And if you use them as a bath time stand-in at the end of a busy day, we’re not going to stop you.

honest baby wipes

$4.95

Honest Company

Boasting “cheek to cheek” versatility 🤣, we love The Honest Co.’s wipes for what they don’t have rather than for what they do: no alcohol, chlorine processing, phthalates, parabens, or any other potentially harmful chemical. Honest Wipes are one of our favorites for functionality, too—they’re large, durable, and moist enough to clean even the biggest messes. (They also come in adorable packages that feature their signature prints!) Prices vary.

joonya wipes

Joonya

An award-winning Australian brand, Joonya launched on the premise that it’s possible to create a natural, eco friendly, and affordable wipe—and they succeeded. These skin safe, nontoxic wipes (that also come in an adorable package, btw) are infused with tons of nourishing oils and are made from all natural ingredients. They’re also bio-degradable, which is a huge environmental win. They even offer a commitment-free membership option! (Price is for 12-pack)
