DermaH20 – the safe and natural alternative
Chemicals
Ordinary baby wipes contain chemicals that may cause skin sensitivities and skin conditions.
Independent studies in Australia, Britain and the US have identified the chemicals used in ordinary baby wipes as being a factor in the onset of nappy rash, irritant contact dermatitis and eczema.
And these wipes should not be used if nappy rash or other inflammations are evident.
Midwives and dermatologists also agree that baby wipes should not be used in the first few months of a baby’s life. Instead, cooled boiled (i.e. sterile) water applied with cotton wool is recommended at nappy changing time.
Safety and convenience
DermaH20 WaterWipes are the only baby wipes to comply with this recommendation while remaining as convenient to use as ordinary baby wipes.
And DermaH20 WaterWipes are completely safe for newborns because they contain no harmful chemicals, soap or other preservatives.
Dermatologically tested and approved, they are made from 99.9% purified water and 0.1% fruit extracts.
DermaH20 WaterWipes also use our advanced packaging technology (patent granted) that guarantees the contents of the pack won’t dry out after opening.
Other wet wipes dry out soon after the pack is opened. But DermaH20 WaterWipes retain their moisture for months after opening.
