🍼 In a Hurry? Pampers Diaper Ingredients & Safety Highlights
What diapers are made of: Pampers diapers (including Pure, Swaddlers, BabyDry, Aqua Pure, Easy Ups, Splashers) are built using elemental chlorinefree fluff pulp and super absorbent polymer in the core. The topsheet and outer cover contain safe plastic fibers such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyester. Printed backsheets use inks without disperse dyes, while seams, adhesives, fasteners and leg cuffs use tested, nonsensitizing materials
What’s never used: Pampers will never use elemental chlorine, latex, alcohol (ethanol/isopropyl), BPA, parabens, phenol, lead or mercury inks, PVC, organotin, disperse dyes, or certain preservatives like MIT/MCI or triclosan
Skincare features: Pampers Pure diapers are fragrance-free and include a plant-based lotion made from shea butter, vegetable oil, aloe, petrolatum, and stearyl alcohol. Other Pampers lines may offer a light, non-irritating fragrance. All materials undergo rigorous safety testing for irritation and skin health
