DYPER Newborn Sensitive Baby Wipes Unscented (224 Count), 99.9% Water-Based, Plant-Based & Hypoallergenic - Gentle for Sensitive Skin, Plastic-Free Multi-Use Wet Wipes (Pack of 4) Packaging May Vary

Verdict: These wipes are gentle, unscented, and worked well on sensitive skin. We were able to confirm that the basesheet is 100% plant-based (bamboo/viscose) and that the formula is ~99.9% water, with minimal additives. However, municipal curbside composting generally does not accept wipes, even plant-based ones; DYPER’s wipes are eligible for industrial composting only through DYPER’s REDYPER program. If you don’t use REDYPER, the practical reality in places like San Francisco is that wipes belong in the landfill bin. What’s in them (confirmed) Plant-based substrate: DYPER states the wipe basesheet is 100% plant-based and FSC-certified; DYPER’s product copy also specifies bamboo viscose for its wipe line. Formula: Marketed as 99–99.9% purified water with a short ingredient list (no added fragrance). (The Amazon listing for the “Newborn” variant emphasizes 99.9% water and carries an EWG Verified badge for safer ingredients.) Composting & disposal (what you can and can’t do) Industrial compost via REDYPER: DYPER’s own FAQ says their wipes can be industrially composted if you use the REDYPER pickup/return service (the same program they offer for diapers). This is a closed-loop service—not curbside. Curbside compost (e.g., San Francisco): Local guidance treats wipes as landfill, even when plant-based. SF Environment’s “Wipes” page directs them to the landfill bin; Recology’s materials likewise limit compost to food/soiled paper/yard debris (not wipes). Why this mismatch? City programs prioritize items their composting facilities can reliably process and keep free of contaminants. Many CA agencies explicitly caution that “compostable” consumer products aren’t accepted in the green bin unless your hauler says so. (Examples from LA-area guidance and zero-waste agencies reinforce that wipes typically aren’t accepted.) Bottom line on disposal: If you’re not in REDYPER, plan to trash used wipes (and never flush them). Local wastewater agencies and utilities warn that all wipes—“flushable” or not—cause clogs. Daily use impressions Performance: Soft, non-irritating, and strong enough that we often used fewer per change. Packaging/dispensing: Pulled cleanly without tearing or clumping. Scent/residue: Unscented with no tacky residue after use. What we wanted clearer (now resolved) Material transparency: DYPER confirms a 100% plant-based basesheet (bamboo/viscose) and FSC sourcing; this wasn’t obvious to us at first glance on retail packaging, but it is stated on DYPER’s product and materials pages. Compostability claim: DYPER does not claim curbside compostability. Composting is through REDYPER’s industrial process only. If you rely on municipal bins (e.g., SF), wipes go to landfill. The takeaway If you want plant-based, very gentle wipes with a short ingredient list, DYPER’s newborn wipes are easy to recommend on performance. Just be clear on end-of-life: they’re not for the green bin in most municipalities; use REDYPER if you want them composted industrially, otherwise dispose of them in the trash. Fwiw, I think they *should* be commercially compostable, so the disparity *may* be due to concerns that they'll be soiled with biowaste. this isn't dyper's fault, but wish they could go in the compost.

These are hands down the best wipes we've used. Finding a wipe that is truly hypoallergenic while actually working is not easy, but these do it perfectly. And they are good for the planet. They are think, perfectly moist, and don't have any of the chemical smells. Definitely worth the cost.

These are the best wipes by far that I have found. They are so soft and durable!

These are my favorite wipes! Never any issues with irritation. I just don’t really like how they smell… not horrible and not a deal breaker for me, but something to note.

A gift. I am told this product is fabulous and healthy for the baby.

Outstanding product for my baby’s sensitive skin. Absolutely impressed by the product.

These are good wipes. However nothing special or nothing extraordinary about them. I still cannot justify the price difference between these wipes and the ones I buy from Costco, or any other brand.

I did not know baby wipes could be compostable ! They are ! Super gentle ingredients and no fragrance. 99.9% water..so truly gentle
