Introducing THE FIRST Biodegradable Baby Wipe in North America

Americans use 36 BILLION wipes a year! But, until now there was not one that was biodegradable. Just 2 years after learning she was wiping her first baby with a product consisting of wood pulp, rayon, polyester, plastic, parabens, and harsh chemicals an Oregon mom has gone where none of the baby care giants have gone before.  Her company, Elements Naturals is now introducing parents to the first and only baby wipe in North America that is 100% natural and produced from annually renewable materials.  Made from 100% Ingeo™ fibers, the world's first manmade fiber created from a natural material that is plant-derived, not oil-based, Ingeo fibers are free of chemical additives, synthetic materials and chemical surface treatments. The wipes can be composted, breaking down into a soil nutrient. The best part, they’re larger and thicker than traditional wipes to clean the messiest diapers. The wipes retail for $5.95 for 80 wipes.  elementsnaturals.com or Diapers.com
