What Ingredients Are NOT In Pampers Products

As parents ourselves, we know that understanding what’s in your baby’s products can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. We’re glad you’re here and we’re here to help if you have any questions about our products. We’re proud to take as much time and care determining what is not included in our products as we spend evaluating the materials that go in them. Read more about our safety standards and our no-go ingredients below.

Are Pampers Ingredients Safe?

YES! All ingredients, materials, formulation processes, and final products are extensively evaluated to ensure that your baby’s health is never compromised and intentionally selected and created to provide your baby with the best possible protection. At each stage of product design, we evaluate ingredients to ensure its safety before it comes in contact with your baby’s skin.

Thoughtfully Chosen Ingredients

All Pampers diapers, wipes, and training pants are made from ingredients that are carefully selected and evaluated for safety and to keep baby’s skin dry. The ingredients we use are common in most diapers and wipes that are used by millions of babies around the world.

The No-Go Ingredients

The following ingredients are never used in any Pampers products:*

    • Chlorine is NEVER added to any Pampers diapers, ever.

*Remember that some of these substances are present in everyday life, and therefore may be present in trace amounts of everyday household items, such as drinking water, air or dust. What’s important to remember is that every substance has a safe threshold, and we’ve spent decades working with health care professionals and regulatory agencies to define those thresholds. We will NEVER use an ingredient that poses harm to your baby. Have more questions about what we include in Pampers products? Visit our FAQ page or contact us for more information.
