Kirkland has been a go-to brand for many products for us but when it comes to baby wipes we have to be more careful than usual. So in this section, we will look into everything Kirkland Baby Wipes is offering and decide whether it is worth your attention or not. 🔹 Ingredients For instance, self-acclaimed “world’s purest” WaterWipes baby wipes used to claim there were no preservatives among their baby wipes ingredients. In 2014, I wrote a critical review on them, and several years later my suspicions appeared to be right. Namely, the brand revealed using benzalkonium chloride as a preservative.

As for sodium benzoate, in my Baby Wipes Rating list e-book, it is rated 3 out of 10 (with 10 as the most toxic).If you’re wondering whether you can save those dried out wipes, the answer is yes! You can do it by rehydrating them! For starters, I have not used flushable Kirkland Signature baby wipes. So, I cannot tell you from my personal experience whether they are actually flushable. However, I encourage you to always consult the manufacturer’s instructions first. But, no need to worry about such things. Just make sure to store baby wipes at room temperature or slightly under, and everything will be alright. But, just because they are dried out, this doesn’t necessarily mean they are no longer usable (even though the expiration date says otherwise).

Costco’s fantastic service has earned them 10th place in the Fortune 500 in 2021. Regarding concerns about benzene formation related to sodium or potassium benzoate, our supplier certifies that this ingredient does not contain any Benzene nor does it contain any Benzene during the production process. Any formation or splitting of Benzene during the use is unlikely. Moreover, a US consultant, David Steinberg, told: “the formation of benzene by a reaction between citric acid and sodium benzoate is an urban legend with no basis in reality. It is chemically impossible for a salt (sodium benzoate) to react with an acid (citric or any other) to form a hydrocarbon (benzene).”

No, Costco baby wipes have no alcohol among their ingredients. Neither do any of the baby wipes (more than 50) included in my Baby Wipes Rating List.
