Baby wipes are a commonly used cleansing method for infants. A literature review has been performed to assess if using baby wipes is beneficial or harmful compared to water and cloth in terms of nappy rash. This includes a detailed analysis of baby wipe ingredients, as many skin irritants as well as allergens are identified. MedLine, Embase and PubMed were searched and after 420 titles and abstracts were screened, 21 studies remained for inclusion. Baby wipes are deemed as superior to water and cloth in the majority of the literature. However, no definitive conclusion can be drawn as many studies are also industry funded. The most notable allergens identified are fragrances, such as linalool, cocamidopropyl betaine (surfactant), formaldehyde-releasing preservatives and other preservatives, including methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone. As not all allergens are listed on the label accurately, this can be misleading for the consumer.
婴儿湿巾是一种常用的婴儿清洁方法。为了评估与水和布相比，使用婴儿湿巾在尿布疹方面是有益还是有害，我们进行了文献综述。这包括对婴儿湿巾成分的详细分析，因为许多皮肤刺激物和过敏原都已被确定。我们检索了 MedLine、Embase 和 PubMed，并在筛选了 420 个标题和摘要后，有 21 项研究被纳入。在大多数文献中，婴儿湿巾被认为优于水和布。然而，由于许多研究也得到了行业的资助，因此无法得出明确的结论。已确定的最显著的过敏原是香料，如芳樟醇、椰油酰胺丙基甜菜碱（表面活性剂）、释放甲醛的防腐剂和其他防腐剂，包括甲基异噻唑啉酮和甲基氯异噻唑啉酮。由于并非所有的过敏原都准确地列在标签上，这可能会误导消费者。
