PFAS absence / testing
No specific public evidence located; this is an evidence gap, not proof of chemical presence.
Score: 3 / 10
Accessible product-level independent PFAS test/certificate.
Obtain exact-product evidence for PFAS absence / testing.
Wipes
A water-led formula, but less convincing for easy everyday cleaning. Recent complaints describe problems with feel, moisture and needing repeated wiping. A larger supply is poor value if the cloth is uncomfortable or you need extra sheets per change.
What these scores mean and how we assess them
Different formula from Curash Sensitive. Evaluate new-labelled stock rather than the old formulation.

Fragrance assessment uses the exact range or explicit variant limitation.
Complete formula plus explicit absence or independently verified absence.
Drying-alcohol assessment distinguishes ethanol/isopropanol from other ingredients with alcohol in their name.
Independently verified absence or complete formulation/material list plus explicit alcohol-free claim.
Assessed from current formula or explicit declaration.
Complete formula or independently verified absence.
Assessed from current formula; presence alone is not a clinical risk conclusion.
Complete formula and explicit phenoxyethanol absence, or product testing covers phenols.
No specific public evidence located; this is an evidence gap, not proof of chemical presence.
Product/residue testing or robust certified organic coverage.
Obtain exact-product evidence for Pesticide residue risk in plant-derived inputs.
Formula/declaration evidence is separate from analytical testing.
Accessible testing/certification plus absence.
Formula disclosure does not certify all substrate dyes or inks.
Independently tested absence or no dyes with verified material list.

Multiple strong product-level independent certifications/tests.
99% water, sodium benzoate, hydroxyacetophenone, citric acid, coco-glucoside, aloe, potassium sorbate. Cloth composition unclear; recycled-content lid and conditional recycling claims.
Full formulation/component list with functions or composition.
No approved curation-source listing verified for this exact product in this release.
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.
Recent reviewers complain that the new formula feels rougher or less wet and takes more wiping, sometimes with irritation. That makes cleaning effort and cloth feel the main concerns in the current feedback, despite older praise for thickness and gentle use.
Confidence: Low. The formula has changed, so older reviews provide limited guidance about the current pack.
Curash describes the cloth as thick and strong; a positive user agrees, while new-formula users describe roughness. Tear resistance has not been independently measured.
Independent comparative result.
The exact Simply Water review page is small and includes several generations. Brand-hosted positive trial reviews are mainly older; new-formula reports were distinguished. No independent comparative cleaning test was retrieved.
Several new-formula reviewers report less moisture and needing more passes to clean; one explicitly links repeated rubbing with irritation.
Strong comparative testing and reviews.
The exact Simply Water review page is small and includes several generations. Brand-hosted positive trial reviews are mainly older; new-formula reports were distinguished. No independent comparative cleaning test was retrieved.
A user reports reliable one-at-a-time extraction and the brand specifies an Easy Seal lid. The user’s pack generation is not confirmed.
Strong one-at-a-time/closure evidence and reviews.
The exact Simply Water review page is small and includes several generations. Brand-hosted positive trial reviews are mainly older; new-formula reports were distinguished. No independent comparative cleaning test was retrieved.
Cloth composition unclear; recycled-content lid and conditional recycling claims.
Substrate assessment; see current material description.
High quantified renewable share.
Single-use waste remains even without plastic cloth.
Reusable/high displacement of single-use waste.
Biodegradability is conditional; no routine landfill outcome assumed.
Precise, evidence-backed disposal limitations and pathways.
Pack recyclability depends on accepted local facilities.
Verified compostable/reusable or high-recycled-content recyclable packaging.
No manufacturing renewable-energy percentage located.
Independently reported 100% renewable electricity at relevant manufacturing sites.
No quantified product manufacturing-impact data located.
Public product LCA or independently assured impact metrics.
Material origins and supplier traceability are not detailed in the reviewed information.
Full product-material provenance and supplier/chain identifiers are documented across all relevant inputs. None of this catalogue is assigned 10 on current records.
Verified listing; local store stock varies.

Broad major-retailer availability.
The premium needs to be justified by practical cleaning and tolerance for your baby. A water-led formulation does not by itself establish superior value; compare cost per change and like-for-like pack sizes. Observed AUD 6.49 for 80 (8.11 cents/wipe). Check live price and bulk packs.
AUD 6.49 / 80 wipes = AUD 0.0811 per wipe, observed 2026-10-02. Location and promotions vary.
Among lowest relevant current prices.
Editorial value assessment considers unit cost and practical cleaning/dispensing evidence.
Excellent performance-to-price or strong lifetime economics.
* Benchmarks describe the scoring rubric, not a guarantee of safety or suitability. Read them alongside the product’s findings and limitations.
