What it does

Fragrance-free baby wipes made with 99% purified water, sold here as a bulk case of 56-count pop-top packs for 672 wipes in total.

Pop-top lid that opens and snaps shut
No fragrance, parabens or latex according to Pampers
Short, published ingredient list
Fed smoothly through a wipes warmer in one blog comparison
Pampers suggests using a pack within 30 days of opening

A sensible choice for families who want a fragrance-free wipe with a short ingredient list and a lid that closes tightly. The trade-off is that the remaining 1% still includes a preservative and other added ingredients, so parents chasing the most minimal formula may prefer a 99.9% water wipe.
