When I became a momma, I did not know a whole lot about all of the chemicals and toxins that we interact with on a daily basis; however, from the moment we brought little Ollie home from the hospital, it became very apparent that there was so much to learn about our largest organ (our skin) and the chemicals that interact with it every single day. Both of my kids have very sensitive skin, so we are very careful about everything that touches them. But of course, life happens, and the few times I have decided to leave the home with little to no diapers in tow, that was the perfect opportunities for the kids to muster up all their strength and blow one out of the diapers. This resulted in me sprinting to the nearest store that carried baby products so that I could change them right away.
For both of my kids, if I use diapers or wipes that are not all natural on their tushies, the consequence is usually a bad diaper rash even from just one application of the products. I have learned my lesson and when possible, I always stick with 100% natural products for my children.

Did You Know??
- It takes only 26 seconds for a baby’s delicate skin to absorb harsh toxins and chemicals.
- A baby may be exposed to over 30 harmful chemicals and materials with traditional diapers and wipes.
- A baby’s diaper area is one of the most delicate areas and highly absorbent areas of their tiny little bodies and susceptible to pH imbalance which can cause skin irritation, infections and allergic reactions.
- 100% of babies have delicate and sensitive skin. And up to 20% of babies are affected by severe skin conditions like eczema.
- Average baby uses about 2,000+ diapers and about 6,000+ wipes before potty-training.
- Wipes have so many convenient uses including diapering, potty training, cleaning up food and play time messes, quick freshen ups, make up removal and much more.
- Many conventional diapers and wipes contain harmful and irritating chemicals and many natural and organic diapers and wipes are super expensive.
Therefore, when I received the opportunity to try out Happy Little Camper baby wipes, I jumped at the chance.
Happy Little Camper baby wipes contain all-natural ingredients and zero chemicals or other harsh detergents. For babies who are prone to eczema like Ollie, the wipes are fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and contain organic aloe vera for addition moisture. Additionally, with Lillie's condition, we have learned the importance of staying clear of as much as possible that disrupts our endocrine system. Which is why all of these details are even more important to our household:
- No chlorine
- No silicones
- No parabens
- No ethyl alcohol
- No PEG/PET
We also know that as parents, we also use baby wipes to clean much more than our little one's booty. When your baby sneezes and a whole bunch of snot shoots out, you grab what you can to contain the mess, and sometimes all you have are the wipes. Or when your baby decides to turn the food pouch into a volcano and explode all its contents all over his/her body, you, the stroller, and even the cat, using wet wipes is the best way to clean everything up. I love knowing that with these wipe there are no harmful chemicals and toxins in its ingredients on other parts of our kiddo's bodies and on myself.
Gentle on the Skin
These wipes are pure 100% natural non-GMO cotton. They almost feel more like very thin washcloths than wipes. Therefore, they are soft and gentle on my baby’s delicate skin.
The moisture content is slightly less than what I am used to, but I believe that is a positive for the Happy Little Camper baby wipes. Excessive moisture in the skin makes it easier for diaper rash to develop, so I often leave my baby’s bottom exposed to the air for a few minutes prior to putting the diaper rash cream on to protect the skin. Just make sure you use the wipes immediately after you take them out of the package and reseal the package properly so that the wipes don’t dry out.
Strong and Durable
The last thing any parent wants is to have wimpy wipes. We need tough wipes that could live through multiple wipes and not disintegrate and rip in our hands. Although these days I am quite immune to anything disgusting, I still rather avoid the icky situation when possible. Happily, we discovered that Happy Little Camper wipes were strong and built to last the job. Stretchable, but soft to the touch, these wipes check all of the right boxes.
Giving Back this Holiday Season
Thanks and giving go hand-in-hand and Happy Little Camper is grateful for each of their customers. For that, with every Happy Little Camper purchase they give back to our local and global communities. Their most recent donations have been in support of the Southern and Northern California fire departments through the Salvation Army. This massive fire storm has destroyed more than 400 homes and displaced hundreds of thousands of families, many involving babies. Happy Little Camper is donating 556 baby wipes, roughly accounting for 142 cases to support these firefighters and families in need. Their hope is that their 100% natural cotton, hypoallergenic baby wipes can make a positive impact. Happy Little Camper thanks all the first responders and are keeping families and communities affected by the California wildfires in their thoughts.
