FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What are WaterWipes made from?

They contain 99.9% purified water and a drop of fruit extract. There are no added fragrances, alcohol, parabens or other common irritants, which is why they are often recommended for sensitive or newborn skin.

Are they suitable for adults as well as babies?

Yes. They are gentle enough for newborns but equally useful for adults with sensitive skin, for cleaning around injection sites before use, or as a general skin cleanser when water is not available.

Do they need to be used within a certain time after opening?

Yes. Because they contain minimal preservatives, use them within a month of opening and keep the pack resealed between uses to stop them drying out. Check the packaging for the exact guidance.

Can I use them to clean around an injection site?

They can be used to gently clean the skin, but they are not a substitute for an alcohol swab if your prescriber has specifically asked you to use one before injecting. For general skin cleaning before a subcutaneous injection, they are a convenient option.
