The Baby Wipe Up Debate -- Use Elements Naturals
When it comes to dirty diapers, there are baby wipes and then there is this one:

Elements Naturals is the first 100% compostable baby wipe on the planet, making it a great choice for parents who want to do what's best for the environment when resuable cloth wipes aren't a convenient option for their lifestyle.

After learning she was wiping her first baby with a product consisting of wood pulp, rayon, polyester, plastic, parabens, and harsh chemicals, Elements Naturals was created by an Oregon mom who wanted to find a gentler solution for both her baby and the earth.

Elements Naturals are 100% natural and produced from annually renewable materials. Made from 100% Ingeo fibers, the world's first man made 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.


Why are these better than biodegradable options? Compostable products break down as valuable nutrients into the soil, aiding the growth of trees and plants while biodegradable products willl l break down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass within a reasonable amount of time in the natural environment. Elements Naturals wipes will typically degrade in 30-120 days in an industrial composter, depending on the product size and material used while biodegradable wipes might degrade in months or hundreds of years.

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.

They're sold at select Whole Food Stores, Diapers.com, Sproutbaby.com, www.elementsnaturals.com and natural stores through out the country.
