Seventh Generation Baby Wipes

Review by Erin Pavlina

Steve and I decided that if we were going to use baby wipes on our baby's bottom they had to be environmentally friendly and baby friendly too. Before Emily was even born we took to Whole Foods to search out something we felt comfortable using. There we found Seventh Generation products. Excited, I contacted the company and they happily sent me some products to try out. Since I hadn't had the baby yet, we had to wait until she was born.

After waiting a couple of weeks and only using warm water, we then moved to the Seventh Generation Baby Wipes. We were quite pleased. As it says on their web site, the baby wipes can do the job with one sheet that it takes other brands 2-3 sheets. This we confirmed by trying out other brands as well.

But the fact that these wipes work so well isn't the only reason we recommend using them. Seventh Generation has a very high standard of eco-friendliness. On their web site I found this:

We derive our name from the Iroquois belief that "In our every deliberation, we should consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations." Every time you use a Seventh Generation product you are making a difference by saving natural resources, reducing pollution, keeping toxic chemicals out of the environment and making the world a safer place for ourselves and the next seven generations.

Seventh Generation also manufactures environmentally friendly non-toxic household cleaners, laundry and dish products; chlorine-free bathroom and facial tissues, paper plates, and napkins; plus recycled plastic trash bags and full-spectrum light bulbs.
