Tooshies Pure Water Wipes

Wipes

Nestivo’s take

A pared-back formula and plastic-free cloth make this an appealing everyday wipe. It is relatively easy to find, but costs more than budget options. Moisture and cleaning feedback are encouraging; one-handed dispensing can still be the sticking point.

What to think twice about

Evidence behind the scores

Low toxins — 71 / 100

Five disclosed ingredients and fragrance-free positioning. Midwife use and hypoallergenic wording are not independent chemical certifications.

PFAS absence / testing

No specific public evidence located; this is an evidence gap, not proof of chemical presence.

What earns 10/10?*

Accessible product-level independent PFAS test/certificate.

Obtain exact-product evidence for PFAS absence / testing.

Chlorine and bleaching process

Product/residue testing or robust certified organic coverage.

Obtain exact-product evidence for Pesticide residue risk in plant-derived inputs.

Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releaser absence

Formula/declaration evidence is separate from analytical testing.

Accessible testing/certification plus absence.

Carcinogenic or allergenic dyes / inks

Formula disclosure does not certify all substrate dyes or inks.

Score: 7 / 10

Independent low-tox curation & awards

The brand has independent finalist/curation recognition in the broader range, but exact wipe award evidence is limited.

Exact product is top-rated/wins with one recognised source and has a second independent curation signal, or receives strong positive curation from 2+ sources.

Performance — 73 / 100

Reviewers praise moisture and effective cleaning for everyday nappy and face messes. A long-term user reports easier wipe removal after the packaging changed, suggesting dispensing has improved for at least some users. Earlier clumping complaints concern older packaging.

Confidence: Medium. Current product details and relevant parent comments are useful, but conflicting review totals and packaging changes limit comparisons.

Wipe strength / tear resistance

The brand describes a textured cloth; exact Pure Water parent comments give little detail about tearing or stretching.

Score: 7 / 10
What earns 10/10?*
