Pampers Portfolio Backed by Experts

If you’ve read about the Pampers Safety Promise and our four-step safety process, you probably already know: we put your baby’s safety and skin health first, every single time. Our researchers work closely with experts (inside Pampers and beyond!) to put globally recognized Pampers safety accreditation into action—so you never have to second-guess what touches your baby’s skin. Every Pampers diaper and wipe gets independently evaluated to meet strict safety standards and ensure they're gentle for your baby’s delicate skin.

In the US, each product goes through material reviews, dermatological testing and evaluation, and third-party certifications before it reaches you and your baby.

Skin Safe Products Recognized Globally By Trustworthy Organizations

We make safety an everyday promise—because your baby deserves it.

That’s why, before any Pampers product hits the shelves, we run a full evaluation of every material, our manufacturing steps, and the finished diaper or wipe itself. We want you to trust that what you use for your little one is high quality and safe, every single day—supported by Pampers quality and Pampers innovation.

These checks are part of our standard process, and we’re constantly making sure Pampers safety is there—starting at the design stage, through to manufacturing, and even after it reaches you.

Our safety processes follow the rigorous standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Academy of Sciences. Additionally, our ingredient assessment process meets or exceeds regulatory or industry requirements, including EDANA and European Union-level safety regulations.

Dermatological Testing and Skin Health Alliance Accreditation

Pampers products are hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. We work with dermatological experts and third-party validators like the Skin Health Alliance to go beyond industry requirements. Every diaper and wipe is safe for contact with delicate baby skin.

Parents also ask. . .

Are Pampers diapers safe for babies' sensitive skin?

Pampers evaluates the safety of materials and conducts dermatological tests to ensure compatibility with babies' skin. This ensures that our products are designed to be gentle on even the most delicate skin.

What exactly does "dermatologically tested" mean for Pampers diapers?

It means the product has been dermatologically assessed for skin tolerance. These tests help determine whether the diaper is gentle and suitable for skin contact.

Pampers Clinical Research and Scientific Expertise

Science and research are the heart of every Pampers product. Our teams work with experts worldwide—think pediatricians, dermatologists, and scientists—so we can learn about babies’ needs for skin health, sleep, and overall well-being.

Our Global Scientific Team

At Pampers, we are proud to have over 600 technical and scientific staff globally working on Pampers products and topics dedicated to babies, such as product performance, safety, and babies’ skin and sleep.

Key Clinical Study Highlights

We have over 132 published scientific publications and abstracts ranging from exploring the science behind babies’ development to clinical studies to design Pampers products that are safe, high quality and provide performance that parents love. Here are a few of them:

1. How can diapers prevent diaper rash?

Pampers Research published in Pediatric Dermatology (Odio & Thaman, 2014)showed that diapers using advanced absorbent materials and breathable designs were associated with a 50% reduction in moderate-to-severe diaper rash. By helping move wetness away from the skin and creating a drier diaper environment, these technologies can help reduce one of the key causes of diaper irritation.

Pampers builds on this science with patented technologies designed to keep babies’ skin dry, comfortable, and protected for up to 12 hours.

2. How diaper design helps protect baby skin?

Our scientists have discovered that special topsheet design with tiny perforations can significantly improve the absorption of runny messes. Pampers aperture topsheet pulls liquid stool away from your baby's delicate skin, reducing direct contact and helping to prevent diaper rash. This has been demonstrated in Pediatric Dermatology (Gustin et al., 2018).

Did you know? This topsheet is available on Pampers Swaddlers.

3. Can a diaper and wipe routine help reduce diaper rash?

A diaper can help support a healthy environment for the skin. A study published in Pediatric Dermatology (Gustin et al., 2021), found that babies using a diaper with an emollient-together with a pH-balanced wipe had significantly fewer severe diaper rash episodes compared with babies using a standard regimen. Pampers researchers found that this routine helped maintain the skin’s natural pH and reduced exposure to irritants from urine and stool.

The benefit was clinically demonstrated in babies and the products were shown to be safe and gentle for delicate infant skin.

What Does this Mean for Your Baby

Safety is at the core of everything we do at Pampers. We’re serious about protecting from leaks and making sure your baby’s skin stays dry, comfy, and healthy. We keep investing in scientific research, safety studies, and partner with pediatricians, hospitals, NICU professionals, and independent experts everywhere—upholding Pampers certifications and partnerships every step.

So with Pampers diapers and wipes, you can feel confident knowing your baby’s comfort and skin health are backed by serious Pampers safety certifications and independent validation every step of the way.

Parents also ask. . .

Are Pampers diaper ingredients safe?

Yes. Pampers evaluates every material used in its diapers and wipes through extensive safety assessments and skin compatibility testing before products reach babies. Research published in Clinical Pediatrics (Counts et al., 2017) reviewed common questions about diaper ingredients and found that materials used in modern disposable diapers are carefully selected and assessed for safety.

The result is a product designed to be gentle on babies' delicate skin while providing the performance parents need, including dryness, comfort, and protection from irritants.
