Seventh Generation Free & Clear Baby Wipes with easy open top, 64 count packs (pack of 12) (840 wipes)

I used to buy Kirkland Signature (Costco) wipes and Huggies wipes. However, upon research from EWG's website, I decided to try the more natural and less toxic brands. So I bought Earth's Best, Seventh Generation, and Tushies, just to compare.

Size: Earth's Best is slightly larger than Seventh Generation and Tushies. If you like generous sizes, Earth's Best is the winner.

Thickness: Earth's Best is slightly thicker than Seventh Generation. Tushies is the thinnest. But none of the three brands is as thick as Huggies.

Texture: Tushies is subtly printed with ducks and stars. These prints increase friction so it is easier to remove dried poop that sticks to baby's bottom. Seventh Generation and Earth' Best do not have prints on them. They feel smoother on the skin. But on the other hand, they do not remove dried poop as effectively due to the lack of friction.

I ordered these wipes from Amazon in mid-2008, in early 2009, and in late 2009, but the wipes were different each time. See Customer Images.

In mid-2008, the front of the mostly-green package was beige and had "seventh GENERATION baby" on the "leaf" logo. The text on the front was in English only; the back was stamped "MADE IN UK." The ingredients were "Water, Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose (plant-derived cleaning agent), Glycerin (vegetable oil derived), Citric Acid (provides stability and pH balance), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E acetate), Potassium Sorbate and Sodium Benzoate (food-grade preservatives)." The weight of the package was 1 pound (although it's possible that some moisture leaked out as the measurement was taken in early 2009). There were 80 wipes per package, each 6.8"x7.5".

I started using these when my son was an infant, and I loved them. They were perfectly natural and safe for my baby. One day I ordered these from Amazon and noticed that the company had added sodium benzoate, a preservative that is now be suspected of causing Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, although not confirmed. I don't like to use things with this preservative, so I had to discontinue using these wipes. I switched to Tushies Unscented wipes. They aren't as thick, but they are more natural than these.
