Traditional baby wipes formulas generally contain alcohol and flavors. Alcohol is an effective ingredient to disinfect the skin. On the one hand, the flavors can mask the odor of the formula raw materials, and on the other hand, they can also provide various fragrance effects for the product. This formula is widely used for a long time. However, studies have found that because the permeability of newborn skin is higher than that of adults, the barrier function of infant skin has not been fully developed. It is extremely allergic and weak in resistance. It is very different from the nature of adult skin: First, the skin of infants has high water content, the pH value is high (the skin does not retain moisture); secondly, it sweats more per unit area; furthermore, babies have low sebum to dry skin. Therefore, in addition to being non-toxic to the skin and eyes, baby wipes should also pay special attention to care and safety. Baby wipes have the characteristics and features of excellent protection, high safety, and low irritation.
And because of the reason of urine and feces, the baby's buttocks are cleaned very often, and alcohol solvents can easily penetrate into the skin. Alcohol and substances have potential harm to the skin. Accumulative use will eventually cause the skin to lose its elasticity, roughness, dryness, and other irritation. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of people's level of awareness, the formula of baby wipes has also improved, using distilled water, purified water, and adding a certain amount of skincare agents, gradually becoming free of alcohol, fragrance, rich in various nutrients, and non-irritating. The development of sexual bactericidal ingredients. In this way, the baby's natural skin will remain moisturized and healthy!
1-2 when were baby wipes invented? who invented baby wipes? There are two sayings as below: The first saying about baby wipes’ history
1-2-1 In 1944 invented by Procter & Gamble In 1944, Procter & Gamble (Procter & Gamble) first introduced "baby wipes".
1-2-2 1945 initially industrialized by Scott Paper As said by Scott Paper, 1945, Original Rando Webber (the first prototype of baby wipes production machine) was made (Circa 1945-1946). 1946 Scott Paper Company’s second prototype (today’s air-laid machine) built to use as a picker lap of shoddy or reclaimed tire cord to produce a random fiber web.
Till that time, the world’s first machine designed specifically for the infant formed fabrics industry— on display at the Smithsonian Institute.

1947 Consolidate Machine Tool ships the first commercial lap-fed 40-inch Rando Webber. (http://www.randomachine.com/ourhistory.html)
1-2-3 Challenged by James River's After the mid-1980s After the mid-1980s, James River's revolutionary baby wipes structure appeared! Embossed Kroyer air-laid dry tissues with ethylene-vinyl acetate spray bonding. This product combines many characteristics of Scott products, but the product has better uniformity, higher bulkiness, and lower cost. For several years, this product has shared the baby wipes market with Rando products.
1-2-4 Breaking the monopoly by Kimberly Clark at the beginning of the 1990s In the early 1990s, Kimberly Clark Company used CoformTM technology (a technology more similar to hydro-jetted nonwoven fabrics, rather than air-laid pulp, or dry papermaking) in its baby wipes. When the curious baby wipes produced by the Coform method entered the market, the curious baby wipes that were as smooth as silk gradually replaced the Rando Webber method baby wipes that were once the market leader and were frequently copied. The Coform method can produce high-quality baby wipes with good strength and softness, moderate bulkiness, but high cost.
The substrate using spunlace technology has a three-dimensional and three-dimensional entangled structure in its fibers, which has more water absorption space than other technologies. Moreover, the base material is formed by fiber entanglement without the need to add chemical adhesives. Therefore, the base material has good flexibility and safety. Moreover, the special product structure and manufacturing process of the spunlace substrate gives the product a hollow structure, but it does not lose the fiber. When the fiber contacts the surface of the wiped object, the friction area increases, which brings comfort and efficiency clean. Due to the reduction in production costs and the increase in the variety of raw materials used, the application of hydro-jet nonwovens in baby wipes has become increasingly widespread. Procter & Gamble has used spunlace nonwovens in its baby wipes in Europe. Thanks to the joint efforts of Procter & Gamble and Kimberly Clark, many high-quality baby wipes use spunlace non-woven fabrics as the base material.
1-1 The second saying about baby wipes’ history 1-2-1 invented by Nice-Pak company The origin of baby wipes most likely came in the mid-1950s as more people were traveling and needed a way to clean up on the go. One of the first companies to produce these was a company called Nice-Pak. They made napkin sized paper cloth saturated with a scented skin cleanser. Rockline Industries of Sheboygan, Wisconsin (which has a large part of the private label wipe market in several segments) went on to be the first to innovate the first baby wipe refill pack and pop-up packs which have become common in the marketplace.
1-2-2 The first baby wipes marketed by Kimberly-Clark & Procter & Gamble
The first wet-wipe products specifically marketed as baby wipes, such as Kimberly-Clark's Huggies wipes and Procter & Gamble's Pampers wipes, appeared on the market in 1990. As the technology to produce wipes matured and became more affordable, smaller brands began to appear. By the 1990s, most superstores like Kmart and Wal-Mart had their own private label brand of wipes made by other manufacturers. After this period there was a boom in the industry and many local brands started manufacturing because of low entry barriers.
2- Material, ingredients of baby wipes 2-1 What are baby wipes made of? What are the ingredients in baby wipes? Baby wipes are made of spunlace nonwoven fabric sheets from the original pulp, cotton fabric, bamboo fabric, viscose fiber, polyester, etc.
Wet wipes fabric cloth designs: Plain, Mesh, Cartoon Prints, Dotted Embossed, EF, Rhombus Diamond.

How to dissolve baby wipes in the toilet / why can't you flush baby wipes / why can't you flush baby wipes / what baby wipes are flushable? How to unclog a toilet clogged with baby wipes?
It is best to dispose of baby wipes in the trash bin. Still, in any event, we use wet wipes often to clean up after fecal discharge. Choose an alternative baby wipes like flushable baby wipes. But suppose you have been flushing your non-biodegradable baby wipes in the toilet and causes toilet blockage or toilet clogged. In that case, use sulfuric acid cleaners to dissolve baby wipes in the pipeline or septic tank. Wear protective gloves and goggles while using the solution, and work in a well-ventilated area to avoid strong chemical fumes. Never mix beach-cleaners or any other chemical to sulfuric acid to prevent a dangerous chemical reaction.

Mouth and hands cleaning: Every time when babies finish their meal, drink milk, sleep, parents should clean the babies’ lips and faces. Remember after cleaning, it’d better apply some moisture cream for the prevention of drying their skin. Bottom cleaning: the diaper area is the most sensitive skin on babies. It needs special care every time after changing the diaper.

How long do baby wipes last unopened? Usually, the wipes packages have seals for leak-prevention and moisture maintenance. Before the unveiling, the shelf life can last for 2 to 3 years based on some brands but most baby wipes brands do not have an expiration date. Wet wipes do not truly expire but instead, the moisture lessens thus leads to losing its effectiveness or mold development in some cases.
After the package opening, if the packages are sealed well or buckled up, it can last for a few months. Since there is no strong preservative in baby wipes, the pre-moistened wipes with the main ingredient of purified water can’t be kept for a long time to prevent new bacterial generation.
How long is baby wipes good for? Baby wipes are good until it keeps its moisture, it is important to keep the lid or opening close after each use to seal in moisture. If the moisture in baby wipes isn’t be dried away, the ingredients in the wipes can still be effective for cleaning.
Baby wipes: how to make sanitizing wipes? Many people can’t buy enough sanitizing wipes or disinfectant wipes since it is in great demand, the shelves often stay empty.
So many people searched how to make baby wipes into sanitizing wipes? Baby wipes are dermatologically tested to maintain alcohol-free ingredients. According to cdc.gov, choose hand sanitizing wipes with at least 60% alcohol. There are two types of alcohol you can use, ethanol alcohol, which is alcohol that we drink, and isopropyl alcohol. To turn your baby wipes into DIY antibacterial wipes, sanitizing wipes, or homemade sanitizing wipes to kill viruses & germs, you can put 60% or 70% alcohol into the package. Add a few drops of essential oils to make it gentle on your hands. The average alcohol mixture depends on the package size (portable Pocket packets/tubs/Bottle/Canister). See below the list of ingredients and the right measurement:
*1 cup of alcohol *1 pack of baby wipes (alternative to baby wipes: spunlace nonwoven fabric dry wipes, thick paper towel, or dried out wipes) *10 drops of essential oil (lavender, aloe vera, tea tree oil, chamomile, etc.) *4 tablespoon Aloe vera gel (optional for extra moisturizing ingredient)
It is best to transfer your DIY sanitizing wipes into a sealed HDPE canister to maintain moisture. Research source: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/hand-sanitizer.html

Baby wipes: how to make disinfectant wipes? Baby wipes may be used as DIY disinfecting wipes or homemade disinfectant wipes by adding bleach, and water into the package. Let it sit for 10 to 15 mins so the wipes can absorb all the ingredients before use. Disinfectant wipes are more effective if you apply them to the surface and let it dry for 3 to 5 mins.
If you prefer to make your baby wipes to DIY Clorox disinfecting wipes, or homemade Clorox household wipes here are the ingredients and exact measurement:
*2 cups of water *2 ½ tablespoon of Clorox bleach *1 pack of baby wipes (alternative to baby wipes: spunlace nonwoven fabric dry wipes, thick paper towel, or dried out wipes)
DIY disinfecting wipes should be kept out of children’s reach to avoid inhaling and ingesting. Research source: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/disinfecting-your-home.html
As a manufacturer of wet wipes, we suggest you should take care and take extra precautionary measures to turn baby wipes into antibacterial hand wipes. As you may not have accurate control on adding correct measurements on ingredients to assure the effectiveness of the wipes. In the All Clean Natural China production line, we have continuous research and analysis the perfectly measure the exact percentage and weight for each ingredient. Our products have been tested in the labs before each batch is moved into our supply building.
If you will use baby wipes as DIY antibacterial wipes, the major dilemma is: most baby wipes are pre-moistened, the spunlace non-woven fabric carries usually two times or more weight of liquid (for example our liquid weight in baby wipes is three times the dry wipes weight). If you add extra liquid into the wipes, the non-woven fabric will soak with too much liquid. You can either remove excess liquid from the container or add dry wipes or paper towels to sip excess liquid. After cleaning on surfaces or hands, leave the surface area longer to dry out to kill germs and bacteria.
How to make DIY Lysol wipes? DIY Lysol wipes have the same essential ingredients as the DIY disinfecting wipes, DIY Clorox wipes, or DIY Lysol wipes. For best results, use a dry paper towel or dry wipes.
