The Hidden Problem: Most Wipes Aren’t Actually Disposable

Wipes are everywhere—from baby wipes to makeup removers to disinfectant wipes. But there’s a serious problem: most of them aren’t biodegradable. Many traditional wipes are made from synthetic fibers and plastic-based materials, meaning they don’t break down like natural fibers.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), wipes contribute significantly to landfill waste and sewage system blockages. In fact, non-biodegradable wipes are one of the biggest culprits of “fatbergs”—massive blockages in city sewer systems caused by wipes and other non-decomposable materials.

The Impact of Traditional Wipes

❌ Plastic-based materials – They take hundreds of years to break down.

❌ Clogged drains and pipes – Even “flushable” wipes don’t decompose properly.

❌ Environmental pollution – Many wipes end up in oceans and rivers, harming marine life.

Chemical Concerns: What’s Really in Your Wipes?

Beyond environmental impact, traditional wipes can be harsh on your skin. Many contain:

🔺 Alcohol & sulfates – Can strip moisture from your skin, causing irritation.

🔺 Parabens & synthetic fragrances – Linked to allergies and skin reactions.

🔺 Harsh preservatives – Can lead to long-term skin sensitivity.
