You can expect to use up to 320 baby wipes just within the first month of welcoming your newborn to the world — that’s a whole lotta wipes! Babies have skin that is extra sensitive, too, so you want to give them the very best. Natural baby wipes use naturally derived ingredients so they’re soft and delicate on your baby’s skin, meaning you won’t have to worry about warding off rashes that can come from wipe after wipe (after wipe).
To make things easy on you (as we know parents and caregivers are as busy as can be), we’ve created a rundown of the best baby wipes for sensitive skin from popular brands like Babyganics and Seventh Generation. Want to know the best part about our best-of list? Everything on it can be shipped right to your doorstep in your monthly Grove shipment. (Did we mention, new members welcome?)
This list of products was determined by ratings and reviews from Grove members.

Technically speaking natural baby wipes expire after two to three years, but they can actually be used after that period of time without any major issues affecting your or your baby’s skin. The only reason you may not want to use baby wipes after they expire is because they may dry up. To preserve diaper wipes as long as you can, make sure to store them in a cool, dry place and out of the sunlight. The hot sun can make baby wipes dry out faster than if they’re being stored in a cool place.
Did you accidently leave your wipes out in the sun and now they’re dried up, but you don’t want them to go to waste? No problem, you can wet your wipes with water and still use them, or you can even find a new use for them (like a cleaning cloth for your home messes).
Every parent and caregiver wonders this at one time — do baby wipes kill germs? The answer is no. That’s because sensitive baby wipes are just that — they’re made to be extra gentle on your baby’s uber delicate skin. Baby wipes are water-based wipes that don’t contain germ-killing ingredients like disinfectant wipes do. If you’re looking for the best way to keep germs away while wiping up your baby’s diaper messes, we recommend washing your hands before and after every diaper change.
Biodegradable baby wipes should never ever be used in your home in replace of cleaning wipes, unless you’re aware that when you’re wiping up messes, thinks like germs, bacteria, and viruses aren’t being killed. The same goes for hand sanitizer and other types of disinfectant wipes — don’t switch them out for baby wipes and expect the baby wipes to do the same job as the wipes that kill germs do.
Oh baby — that’s a hard no. Even though baby wipes deal with the same things the potty does, they should never be flushed down the toilet. They aren’t made to break down like toilet paper is, and, if you flush them, you could have some major plumbing problems on your hands like serious clogs and blockages. If you’ve flushed baby wipes and haven’t had any problems with your own plumbing, the diaper wipes could still be affecting your community’s sewer pipes, making more of a mess for everyone around you.
Where should you get rid of baby wipes? We can think of no better option than the trashcan. Unless they’re biodegradable baby wipes or compostable baby wipes, the trash is (unfortunately) your best bet for safely disposing of them. Keep in mind biodegradable baby wipes will break down naturally making them a great option instead of traditional ones.
