Medline is a medical products company. As a hospital quality assurance manager, I can tell you those products are made, ironically, with no concern for health. It's a given that the wipes are processed with dyes, bleach and chemicals. Furthermore, the website does not state what the wipes are made of, so they likely contain plastic and/or petroleum-based products. I wouldn't use these if you are concerned about skin sensitivity and absorption.<br /><br />Since most "natural" companies are still using at least a few toxic ingredients, be sure to always read labels. Many of these companies are counting on our failure to do so. I wish I could recommend a good disposable wipe material, but I can't find anything that is truly pure and natural in content and processing. A good business opportunity for someone industrious!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-79226562782221934732012-11-12T12:55:30.476-07:002012-11-12T12:55:30.476-07:00I must make a correction.

Glycerin is harmless, but it was not obtained through wood ash. Lye was obtained through wood ash, which is also used in soap, but unlike glycerin is harmful to you skin. I appoligize for that misinformation.

I find I need to use a lot less wipes when I use cloth ones. For the solution, I add 1 homemade soap cube (I buy them on Etsy from Wee Essentials) to 8 oz of water and heat it until the soap is dissolved, then pour it into a peri bottle and squirt on the wipes as needed. Works well for us! I love that since we don't keep the wipes wet all the time, they are great to use to wipe noses, faces, and hands, plus quickly wipe up spills and use as napkins. :)bafleyannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02512006999519081304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-32163619461741066612012-11-09T08:32:40.256-07:002012-11-09T08:32:40.256-07:00I don't know either.

Glycerin is necessary for making soap period and without it, you won't get soap. The settlers aquired glycerin by filtering warm water through wood ash and leaves and then they combined it with their lard to make their own homemade soap. Of course there is more detail into making soap, I'm just paraphrasing it.I do agree though that all those other chemicals are unessesary and harmful; Glycerin is just not one of them.Jenelle Abramnoreply@blogger.com
