Freestyle 99% Water Baby Wipes, Fragrance Free
Our take
A 99% water, fragrance-free wipe on a plastic-free cloth, preserved with sodium benzoate instead of phenoxyethanol. Parents mostly praise how big and thick each wipe is, so one usually does the job.
Consider instead: WaterWipes for just two ingredients.
