Alcohol wipes are mostly used in medical institutions and outdoor conditions to clean the minimally invasive mouth to avoid bacterial infection. Some ingredients such as benzethonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine will be introduced as bactericidal agents in China, especially benzethonium chloride Baidu comes out with preservatives. In fact, benzethonium chloride meets EU standards and there is no problem in daily use. At present, there is no adverse reaction assessment report, but it is based on articles such as Baidu. Many manufacturers are not using it. Now the most used is polyhexamethylene biguanide, which has no side effects, good bactericidal effect, and compatibility with other liquid medicines. Sex is also very good and very stable. All of the above liquid medicines have a sterilization effect. Some small-brand wet wipes workshops often advertise that they can be sterilized. In fact, these liquid medicines are not used because the cost can be reduced. There are some differences between the above liquid medicines. Brands that focus on quality will choose relatively better liquid medicines, such as pharmaceutical grade. Brands that do not pursue quality will put industrial grade liquid medicines. This is also different.

The main ingredients of kitchen wipes currently on the market are surfactants, lauryl glycosides (APG), coconut oil, polyhexamethylene hydrochloric acid (PHMB), plant extracts (lemon, ginger, aloe, grapefruit, etc.) , Isothiazolinone, etc.
Among them, surfactants and dodecyl glycosides (APG) are the most widely used. Combining with plant extracts can add some refreshing taste. Of course, plant extracts can also decompose some oil stains, so most brands choose to mix them.
Polyhexamethylene hydrochloric acid (PHMB) is a safe and efficient broad-spectrum antibacterial agent widely used by medical institutions. Isothiazolinone is a kind of bactericide, more used in industry. The above two ingredients are not recommended.
Therefore, when buying kitchen wipes, try to choose surfactants. APG with plant-derived ingredients is the first choice. Others should be used with caution. After all, safety is the first choice when in contact with food.
Analysis of the chemical composition of baby wipes
The main ingredients of baby wipes currently on the market are plant extracts, xylitol, vitamins, benzalkonium chloride, etc.
Benzalkonium chloride is not recommended for its toxicity. Plant extracts have no bactericidal effect, but nourish the skin.

The wet wipes to minimize the irritation to the baby’s skin.
Nowadays, many brands of wet wipes on the market have chosen pure water wet wipes. The inside story is popular here. The so-called pure water wipes have a very low shelf life. If it is pure water, it will quickly deteriorate, so there are almost no exceptions. The so-called pure water wipes contain trace preservatives, otherwise they will deteriorate after a few days. If you want to use it with peace of mind, you can consider using a better quality wet and dry towel. Soaking it in pure water is the safest method. For merchants, the market price of baby wipes is getting lower and lower. The principle of most merchants is that it is best to add nothing, low cost, no stimulation, and no harm, but in fact, such wet wipes are not clean. The function of the antibacterial effect cannot be achieved.
It is recommended that you buy wet wipes with plant extract formulas. After all, they have the effect of moisturizing the skin, and then match some sanitary wipes to wipe baby daily necessities and toys. Be careful not to let children touch them immediately after wiping. It is safest to use the liquid after a few minutes after the sterilizing effect has evaporated.
