What’s Inside: Baby Wipes That Still Contain Phenoxyethanol
A quick-reference list for label-conscious parents & caregivers
👶 Why This Matters
Phenoxyethanol is a common synthetic preservative found in many baby wipes. While it’s allowed in U.S. products, it is restricted in Europe, especially for babies under 3, and particularly for use in the diaper area.
This guide highlights popular baby wipes currently sold in the U.S. that list phenoxyethanol on the ingredient label.

💡 Reminder
Just because a wipe says “gentle” or “sensitive,” doesn’t guarantee it’s free of concerning ingredients. Always flip the label and read the back, your baby’s skin deserves to be protected with care and clarity.
