Material Ingredients
EcoCert and Natural Products Association certified Purified Water Water that has been produced through the methods of reverse osmosis, deionization, distillation or other methods that meet USP standards to remove impurities. Coco-Glucoside & Decyl Glucoside These natural and biodegradable surfactants are exceptionally mild and have excellent cleansing and foaming characteristics. Made from coconut oil and glucose from corn; it is used in products for individuals with sensitive skin. Results from several studies demonstrate it to be non-irritating to skin and eyes, which makes it an ideal ingredient for our wipes.
Dicaprylyl Ether A plant derived skin conditioner, and emollient based on plant oils that significantly helps protect, care for and smooth your babys skin. It creates a smooth and soft appearance to the skin with a dry, velvety and non-greasy feel. Its also known for its fast spreading capabilities, and is thus used to help facilitate the spreadability of other ingredients.
Glyceryl Oleate A natural lipid of the skins surface obtained from naturally occurring oils and fats. It improves skin softness, strengthens the skins barrier, and moisturizes. Studies by the National Institutes of Health have found it to be nonirritating and nontoxic to animals or humans.
Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin 100% naturally derived and biodegradable it is an excellent alternative to the standard and potentially harmful formaldehyde releasing preservatives and parabens. It is globally accepted, including Japan, and provides protection against bacteria, yeast and mold. It is used in extremely low concentrations in Elements Naturals® baby wipes (0.5-1%).

Discontinue use if irritation or redness occurs.

*Will compost in municipal/industrial facilities according to ISO, ASTM, and EN regulations. Home composting results vary.

About Elements Naturals In 2007, Linda Naerheim founded Elements Naturals® in Bend, Ore., with the aim of developing high-quality baby products that are designed with babies and the environment in mind. After becoming a mom, Linda became aware of all the chemicals added to baby wipes. Unhappy with any of the wipes on the market, she decided to create a product she felt comfortable using on her own babys skin. Linda spent the next year researching everything that goes into creating quality (and truly green) baby products and, armed with that knowledge, started Elements Naturals®. Elements Naturals® mission is to lead the way in sustainability by making products that are good for both babies and the environment. Like nature, we believe in a systems approach to product development, particularly in regard to materials, design and production, our workforce, transportation, and our local community. We realize that a successful business is one that not only provides economic benefits, but also protects the environment. Because of these beliefs our products are never tested on animals and one percent of the companys proceeds are donated to 1% For The Planet, a global movement of hundreds of companies that contribute 1% of their sales to environmental organizations worldwide. The company is also a Proud Signer of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. Why We Like This
Aside from the obvious, 100% natural and renewable, 100% compostable, chemical and fragrance free, reusable and recyclable packaging...these wipes were created by a mom, tested on her child first, and brought to you, designed entirely with babies and the environment in mind. The wipes are larger than traditional brands, making them more efficient and easier to use. Elements Naturals mission "is to lead the way in sustainability by making products that are good for both babies and the environment." Sounds good to us!

As a side note, if you compost, great because these wipes are completely compostable. If you don't compost, do not flush these wipes, dispose of them in your regular garbage system. Why aren't the wipes flushable, you ask? Well, because flushable wipe products need to be able to break down in water causing them to suffer from a lack of strength which makes them tear easily. Elements Naturals® baby wipes, on the other hand, are durable and hold up under use.

If you're up for it, we encourage you to find out a little more about composting (wink, wink).
