Perfume-free baby wipes under scrutiny by Ökotest

In the Issue 07/2020 of the magazine Ökotest, a total of 30 baby wipes without perfume were tested. The products were specifically examined for ingredients such as polyethylene glycols and their derivatives (PEG/PEG derivatives), silicones, and synthetic polymers. The focus was also placed on the microbiology of the products since some were advertised as containing "up to 99% water". Furthermore, the content of preservatives was determined and tested for halogen-organic compounds and formaldehyde/formaldehyde-releasing substances.

22 products received the rating very good. One product received a rating deduction due to synthetic polymers and thus received a good. Five products were rated satisfactory because they contained halogen-organic compounds or PEG/PEG derivatives. One product each received the rating sufficient or insufficient.

The BAV Institute, as part of the international Tentamus laboratory group, offers chemical analyses in addition to microbiological tests.

Have your product tested for possible residues and contaminants and comply with the requirements of the Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. We also test the microbiological quality of your products according to the requirements of ISO 17516. Contact us, we look forward to hearing from you.
