So that fellow mums and dads can rest assured they’re using mild and gentle
cleansing wipes, we have designed our unique balm to soothe and protect
babies’ delicate skin by using natural ingredients:




Aloe Vera:
The extraordinary healing powers of the aloe vera plant make it an important ingredient in the Jackson Reece formula. The leaves contain a gel which has an immediate healing effect on wounds and burns. The gel acts like a protective coating on the skin and accelerates the healing process. It is also a mild anaesthetic and relieves pain and itching. It increases the flow of blood and reduces inflammation, swelling and redness.
Aloe vera is also beneficial for skin disorders such as psoriasis, acne and exzema. The gel acts as a moisturiser, removes dead cells and can reduce scarring. Aloe vera gels and sprays are also used in the relief of arthritic pain in the joints and muscles.


Tea Tree Oil:
Tea tree has a long history of traditional use. Australian aboriginals used tea tree leaves for healing skin cuts, burns, and infections by crushing the leaves and applying them to the affected area. Tea tree oil contains constituents called terpenoids, which have been found to have antiseptic and antifungal activity. Tea tree oil is commonly used as a treatment for acne, athlete's foot, dandruff and exzema.


Lavender Essential Oil:
There are many good reasons why lavender is in the Jackson Reece formula. It smells great, relaxing oil, which combats stress and has a healing effect and is useful for skin problems, wounds, insect bites and stings.


Purified Water:
We think it’s important to filter water to a high standard to kill any harmful bacteria.

We are just as proud of Jackson Reece wipes for what they do NOT contain. Some ingredients found in many baby and childrens’ products can cause problems for delicate skin. In today’s modern lifestyle, babies and children are exposed to tens of thousands of different substances and products without anyone really understanding the long term effects. Being five times thinner than adult
skin, our babies are more susceptible to the damage that irritants found in many skincare products can do. Synthetic chemicals such as alcohol, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES), Lanolin and Parabens can cause all sorts of problems for delicate skin.
Our wipes are:
Alcohol FREE
Alcohol appears in many cosmetics and skin care products. Stripping skin of its natural oil, alcohol dries out the skin and often causes redness, irritation and inflammation. Drying out the top layers of skin can also inhibit the natural ability to shed dead skin cells and to keep the pores open, which can lead to pore clogging. For this reason we have chosen not to use alcohol, making our wipes ideal for delicate, sensitive or inflamed skin.

Parabens FREE
Parabens are a group of commonly used preservatives found in many baby skincare products. They are widely used because of their ability to destroy bacteria that can form and grow in these type of products. It’s because they are strong and aggressive that they are another common irritant responsible for upsetting the natural balance of the skin. However, more worryingly they have recently been linked to the causes of breast cancer. While it is important to note that these studies have not yet been conclusive, we believe parabens have no place near a baby’s skin.

Phenoxyethanol: - has been banned by Eco Cert from January 2009. Eco Cert is a French based control and certification organisation recognised in over 80 countries.

Triclosan: - is used to control the growth of bacteria in soaps and toiletries. It is regulated by the FOA and studies highlight cancer concerns.

Petro Chemicals: - petroleum derivates such as mineral oil, paraffin and propylene glycol that are commonly used in cosmetics.

Soap: - dries out the skin and can cause skin irritation.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) FREE
SLS and SLES are the most common chemical used in childrens toiletries to make them foam and cleanse. When rinsed off, the product will have cleaned the area but will have taken moisture from the top layers of skin. They are widely used by big manufacturers as they’re cheap and effective. In people with sensitive skin (prone to dermatitis, acne, eczema, psoriasis and chemical sensitivity), the drying property of these type of detergents can cause flare-ups of skin conditions or may aggravate existing conditions.

Lanolin FREE
A small percentage of the population has an allergy to lanolin which is why it was an easy decision not to use lanolin in our wipes.

Benzoates: - are often used to preserve cosmetics and as an antiseptic. They are thought to intensify the symptoms of asthma.

Phthalates: - are chemicals that are often used in fragrances, lotions and shampoos that make scents and colours last longer. Some studies have shown the phthalates can change hormone levels and cause birth defects. Baby care products containing phthalates are a source of exposure to young babies and this can disrupt the reproductive system especially in boys.

Methylisothiazolinone (MIT):- is a powerful preservative found in shampoos and toiletries. Studies have shown it can cause allergic reactions and irritation to the skin.

Propylene Glycol: - causes the skin to keep in moisture and prevents water from escaping, therefore reducing the skins moisture factor. Studies do not recommend propylene glycol for eczema sufferers.
