The skin of newborns is classified as sensitive, with a higher risk of skin barrier disruption and irritation of a diapered area. Despite dermatologist recommendations to use only water and a cloth for cleaning, most of the population still relies on the comforts of modern parenting, which includes intensive daily usage of baby wet wipes. Novel baby formulations are designed following the concept of infant skin health, containing a gentle cleanser, suitable emollient, and buffer system enabling a slightly acidic pH value and they are free of ethyl alcohol. Thus, it is important to understand the chemical background of such a complex liquid formulation, with emphasis on its safety. In line with this, the present paper discusses the scientific background of various chemical compounds found in baby wipe formulations to improve the understanding of wet wipe designs and direct them toward more skin-friendly solutions.
新生儿的皮肤被归类为敏感皮肤，皮肤屏障更容易受损，尿布区域更容易受到刺激。尽管皮肤科医生建议只用清水和布清洁，但大多数人仍然依赖现代育儿的舒适，包括每天频繁使用婴儿湿巾。新型婴儿配方是根据婴儿皮肤健康的概念设计的，含有温和的清洁剂、合适的润肤剂和缓冲系统，使 pH 值略呈酸性，并且不含乙醇。因此，了解这种复杂的液体配方的化学背景非常重要，重点是其安全性。有鉴于此，本文讨论了婴儿湿巾配方中各种化学化合物的科学背景，以提高对湿巾设计的理解，并引导其朝着更亲肤的解决方案发展。
