Hi Guys! I made a small comparison of a few brands of wipes that claimed to be natural. My top pick is Jackson Reece! The price is great for what you get and no nasties. We love them and I usually bulk buy them so the price is even better. The second choice would have to be Water Wipes.. they are sooo soft but the benzalkonium chloride is what is stopping me from buying them and they are not biodegradable. The great thing about water wipes is that you can get them in most shops so it’s my last resort when I do run out! I hope that helps :)
