Overview of Wet Wipes Types in Singapore
1) Baby Wipes
Manufacturers make these from cotton material, with various sizes and shapes available. They are great for cleansing baby’s bottom after diapers change or at bedtime before sleep. Adults also use these scented, soft fabric baby wipes.
Once you use them, they won’t leave any odour in the bathroom or in worn clothes. During pregnancy, you can use baby wipes to clean your hands and face before leaving home or going to work. If you’re going to use them and you’re allergic to perfumes, don’t worry because the fragrance is not too strong and won’t cause any reaction.
It’s also common that most baby wipes are suitable for sensitive skin and skin-related problems or rashes. You can use baby wipes to remove dirt from your toddler’s hands and nails after bathing by wiping their hands and gently wiping it off with a soft towel.
2) Aloe Vera Infused Wipes
Aloe Vera infused wipes are great for the skin. The manufacturer makes them with aloe vera, which is good for the skin and can reduce acne scars. These moist wipes will cleanse your face, hands and other sensitive areas.
You can use them as a facial cleanser to remove dirt from your face after washing with soap or shower gel as they are very gentle on the skin. Despite being made with aloe vera, they are not sticky at all.
3) Anti-Bacterial Wipes
Marketers market these wipes as antibacterial or antifungal wipes made with naturally derived ingredients. Your skin will be left clean and healthy after using them. They are suitable for regular use to remove dirt from hands, face, feet and other sensitive areas.
Some wipes may contain alcohol, which kills harmful bacteria or spores. The alcohol in them evaporates and leaves your skin clean and healthy after using it. There are other wipes which do not contain alcohol to eliminate any bacteria that may be present.
4) Facial Cleanser Wipes
These wipes are made from special material, usually soft cotton-like fabric which can be used for many purposes aside from cleansing hands and your face. These wipes are good for removing makeup, dirt off the facial skin after washing it with soap or shower gel. They are also great for removing makeup residue on the fingers after applying makeup, especially eye make up remover.
Facial cleanser wipes are gentle on the skin and don’t feel sticky at all. They are mild to use but will leave your skin clean and healthy. Most of these wipes are also pH neutral, which means they are suitable for sensitive skin. This means that you won’t have to worry about burning your skin after using it on your face.

However, if you have babies or young children at home, we would advise that you don’t use these wipes for them as they can cause irritation if their skin is sensitive or has allergies to plant-based ingredients.
