For everyday freshness, during your period, or when travelling, Natracare
certified Organic Cotton natural wipes, enriched with Calendula and
Chamomile are gentle for cleansing delicate skin because we only use ingredients
derived from plants and never use the harsh chemicals and damaging preservatives
used in everyday wipes.
Choosing natracare natural organic cotton intimate wipes allows you to avoid
materials derived from petrochemicals, and skin irritating ingredients such
as propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, and formaldehyde releasing preservatives
such as imidazolidinyl urea, which is the second most identified cosmetic preservative
causing contact dermatitis according to The American Academy of Dermatology.
Almost all wet and dry wipes available today are made from polypropylene (PP)
or its cousin polyolefin, materials that are derived from petroleum. The wipes
are usually embossed at low temperatures in order to make the wipe appear much
thicker than it actually is. In this way, embossed wipes are being sold at a
higher price because marketing people determine that the consumer will think
it is a better quality wipe because it is thicker, and therefore, is willing
to pay more for the privilege of using even more materials that will not biodegrade.
It is not how thick a wet wipe pack is that is important to Natracare, but what
the wipe is made from and what chemicals it holds that can potentially damage
our bodies and the environment.
Many people are now becoming concerned about the long term effects of using
products that contain parabens because of the recent findings indicating a potential
link to breast cancer . In the 1930’s, scientists developed something
that could preserve creams. Synthetic Methyl, Ethyl and Propyl Parabens were
developed from benzoic acid. Researchers from the Department of Biology and
Biochemistry of Brunel University in the UK have conducted a study and found
that once these parabens are in our system, they stay in there. It is estimated
that 99% of all cosmetic and body care products contain some form of the paraben
preservatives. Other chemicals of concern that are commonly used in feminine
wet wipes, as well as baby wipes, include the following: phenoxyethanol, propylene
glycol, polyethylene glycol (PEG), sodium lauryl sulphate, isopropyl myristate,
and formaldehyde releasing preservatives such as imidazolidinyl urea. For more
information about these chemicals, read health and environment issues.
