What Goes in and Why It’s There
For every Huggies® Baby Wipe, we carefully select each ingredient to care for your baby's sensitive skin. While some of the ingredients may not be all that familiar, each has its unique purpose. Let us tell you more.
We use Water to remove impurities from your baby's skin. In fact, our Nourish & CareTM Wipes are 96% water.
To help baby’s skin feel soft and moisturized, we use Glycerin. It’s a humectant, which means it holds water.
Butoxy PEG-4 PG-Amodimethicone makes wipes softer so they slide gently across your baby’s skin.
We use Caprylyl Glycol as a gentle conditioner to help soothe your baby’s delicate skin.
Sodium Benzoate is used to keep foods like bread and fruit juice fresh. We use it to prevent the growth of bacteria in each pack.
Coco-Betaine comes from coconut oil. It’s typically used in shampoo and body washes to remove impurities from the skin.
We use Malic Acid (found in apples) to match the pH of baby’s skin. If the pH rises too high, it disrupts the skin’s natural, healthy state.
Derived from coconut oil, we use Polysorbate 20 to help dissolve oils and fats into water.
To help please noses everywhere, we use a bit of Fragrance in our wipes.
Found in citrus fruits like lemons, oranges and grapefruit, Sodium Citrate ensures our wipes stay fresh.
Aloe Vera, it’s listed on our product as Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice.
We add Vitamin E to our wipes, or as it’s less commonly known: Tocopheryl Acetate.
Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract comes from the cacao bean (also the starting point for chocolate) and gives our wipes a pleasant natural fragrance.
To help moisturize baby’s skin and to fragrance our wipes, we use PEG-50 Shea Butter, which comes from the nut of the African shea tree.
