When I first saw the name “NatureBotts“, I figured a new toy line had been released allowing kids to fight polluters with animatronic, green robots. Sigh. As indicated by the title, however, we’re instead treated to some beautifully green biodegradable wipes for your little baby’s bum.
The UK company — which also has an extensive store of green baby clothing and other accessories — has recently been accredited by the Forest Stewardship Council for using only paper in their wipes taken from managed forests. According to the website, they are also they are 100% free from alcohol, fragrance and color, are dermatologically tested and are also pH balanced. As expected, the wipes also were not tested on animals. You can pick a box for £2.84 here.
Obviously, this is a great product for those living in the UK. If you’re Stateside like me, I would highly recommend Seventh Generation’s Biodegradable Baby Wipes. Jump here to view more.

Hi Michael and team – Meghan, here, at Seventh Generation. Great article and very important topic. Thank you in advance for your recommendation. Just want to clarify quickly: Seventh Generation’s baby wipes are not biodegradable/flushable/compostable, but chlorine and toxin free. We are constantly innovating and this is one product at the top of the list. Though this reality is not perfect, it is a better choice for parents concerned about baby care products and toxicity. Please contact me with any questions…Love the site, as always. Meghan

They can be purchased by the case on our website http://www.elementsnaturals.com or by the case at Diapers.com, and at select retailers including Whole Foods Markets.
