Broody Chick Eco-Natural Bamboo Baby Wipes (60 Unscented Wipes)

Bought these for our first little one that arrived a month ago. They were great at cleaning up those first poops that are very sticky. If I needed more disposable wipes I would definitely buy these again.

After researching different brands and their ingredients in search of truly natural, eco-friendly or biodegradable baby wipes, I for some reason came to the conclusion that these were the safest, most non-toxic disposable wipes and added them to my baby registry. I even checked the Broody Chick website for further info and to see what they're all about: "100% natural - chemical free " is what the company claims these wipes to be, however, this is NOT the case.Here is the list of ingredients on the package (which I couldn't locate ANYWHERE online, including the brands' website - should have known).I have in all caps the ingredients which are cause for concern:Aqua, Glycerin, PHENOXYENTHANOL, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE, Ormenis Multicaulis Oil (Chamomile), DIDECYLDIMONIUM CHLORIDE, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera), Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil), LAURALKONIUM CHLORIDE, Vitamin E.So, as you can see, these are clearly not 100% natural and chemical free as they claim to be. They actually contain many questionably safe chemical additives, not necessary in a truly natural wipe.The way I see it, this is misleading and false advertising. If you want a truly natural wipe, I suggest making your own or looking into "water wipes" brand.I feel mislead and I am currently trying to return these as I wouldn't ever put anything of the sorts near my baby - or even use them on myself for that matter.Shame on you, Broody Chick :(

I bought this product assuming that it was: (A) locally (Canadian) produced and (B) relatively mild/skin friendly in formulation - this is certainly what the package and their website implies. Closer reading of the package shows that (A) they are in fact made in China and (B) the first two ingredients (after water) are chemicals listed as a "moderate hazard" on the EWG cosmetics assessment page. Both of these ingredients (cocamidopropyl betaine and phenoxyethanol) have recommended use restrictions in some countries. One is a suspected environmental toxin (in Canada) and the other is classified as a skin irritant (in the EU). I wouldn't be annoyed enough to write a review if I felt I hadn't been manipulated (lots of wipes have questionable ingredients) but I bought the sell here and that annoys me. If this company is serious about being friendly to the earth and to people, they need to reformulate this one. The final straw is that these wipes smell like formalin/formaldehyde, which is neither pleasant nor reassuring...
