About Bubbez WASH + RINSE Travel Wipes
Understanding the Bubbez 2-Step System
What are Bubbez WASH + RINSE travel wipes?
Bubbez WASH + RINSE travel wipes are the only 2-step travel wipe system designed specifically for kids' hands and faces. Unlike regular baby wipes or single-use wet wipes, every Bubbez twin sachet contains two separate wipes that work together as a complete cleaning system. The WASH wipe uses a plant-based cleansing formula to loosen and lift dirt and grime. The RINSE wipe follows to remove residue and leave skin clean, soft, and completely residue-free. Together they give kids a thorough clean anywhere, without needing a sink.
How does the 2-step system work?
The system works in two steps that mirror the process of washing at a real sink. Step one uses the WASH wipe, which contains a plant-based, olive oil and coconut oil-derived formula that produces a gentle lather on contact with skin, loosening and lifting everyday dirt, food mess, mud, and grime from kids' hands and faces. Step two uses the RINSE wipe, which contains Aqua, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Zinc Lactate, and Citric Acid. It is a clean water-based formula with no cleansing agents. Its sole job is to remove what the WASH wipe loosened, leaving skin soft, fresh, and completely residue-free. No stickiness, no film, nothing left behind.
What comes in each box of Bubbez?
Each box contains 25 twin sachets. That is 25 WASH wipes and 25 RINSE wipes, each individually sealed for freshness. The sachets are compact enough to fit in any diaper bag, backpack, purse, glove compartment, or stroller bag, making them practical for every situation families encounter away from home.
What size are the wipes?
Each Bubbez wipe measures 6 inches x 6 inches, which is larger than most standard travel wipes on the market. The fabric has a textured surface that improves cleaning contact with skin compared to smooth wipes. The material is thick and soft, designed to feel premium against little faces and hands.
Why Regular Wipes and Baby Wipes Fall Short
What is the difference between wiping and washing?
Wiping and washing are fundamentally different processes, and this is the core reason Bubbez exists. Regular baby wipes and wet wipes are single-step moisture wipes. They apply water and gentle friction to the surface of skin, which moves surface mess around using moisture alone. They contain no active cleansing agent capable of loosening and lifting dirt and grime from the surface of skin, and they have no rinse step to clear away what they have picked up. The result is hands that may look slightly better but still carry surface residue, food particles, and grime. Many parents notice their child's hands feel slightly sticky or grimy after using a baby wipe. That is not a flaw in the product. It simply was not designed for that job.
Are baby wipes the same as Bubbez wipes?
No. Baby wipes are designed primarily for mild skin wiping on infants during diaper changes. They are gentle and appropriate for that purpose. They are formulated for newborn and infant skin in the diaper area and are not designed to remove the kind of everyday dirt, food mess, mud, and grime that active toddlers and kids encounter throughout the day. Bubbez travel wipes are a different product category entirely. They are built around a two-step wash and rinse system for children who need a thorough clean on the go. Bubbez does not replace baby wipes. It fills the gap that baby wipes were never designed to fill.
Can you use baby wipes on kids' faces?
Many parents use baby wipes on their kids' faces out of convenience because it is the wipe they have on hand. Baby wipes are formulated for the diaper area, not the face. The face, particularly around the mouth, nose, and eyes, has different needs and comes into more direct contact with food, shared surfaces, and anything children touch throughout the day. Bubbez wipes are specifically formulated and independently tested for safe, frequent use on children's hands and faces, including sensitive skin.
How do Bubbez wipes compare to hand sanitizer?
Hand sanitizer and Bubbez serve completely different purposes. Hand sanitizer is an alcohol-based product designed to reduce surface pathogens on hands that are already visibly clean. It does nothing to remove visible dirt, food mess, or physical grime, and it is not formulated for regular use on children's faces. It contains drying alcohols that are not ideal for frequent use on sensitive skin, particularly around the mouth, nose, and eyes. Bubbez is appropriate when hands and faces are visibly dirty and a thorough clean is the goal. The WASH wipe loosens and lifts physical mess. The RINSE wipe clears everything away. The two products are not substitutes for each other.
How do Bubbez wipes compare to other travel wipes?
Most travel wipe products available today are single-step convenience wipes. Some are water-based with minimal ingredients, which makes them very gentle but limits their ability to remove dirt and grime. Some include a mild cleansing agent in a single wipe but provide no rinse step, which means residue from the cleansing formula remains on skin after use. None of them include both a wash step and a rinse step in a single twin sachet format designed specifically for kids' hands and faces. Bubbez is the only travel wipe product that provides a complete two-step wash and rinse system in one individually sealed twin sachet, with both wipes formulated for safe, frequent use on children's skin.
Safety, Ingredients, and Testing
What do Bubbez wipes not contain?
Both the WASH wipe and RINSE wipe are free from alcohol, parabens, synthetic fragrances, formaldehyde, phthalates, harsh chemical preservatives including MIT and CMIT, drying agents, and heavy metals. All of the above have been confirmed by independent third-party laboratory testing.
Have Bubbez wipes been independently tested?
Yes. The Bubbez wipe fabric has been independently tested by internationally accredited laboratories including GTTC (Guangzhou Testing Center of Textile and Clothing) and TUV Rheinland. Testing confirmed no detection of formaldehyde, heavy metals including lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury, pathogenic bacteria including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus in the wipe fabric, phthalates including DBP, BBP, DEHP, DNOP, DINP, and DIDP, acrylamide, volatile organic compounds including methanol, benzene, toluene, and xylene, fluorescent migrating substances, and harsh preservatives MIT and CMIT. All results met or exceeded the required standards.
Are Bubbez wipes safe for kids with sensitive skin?
Yes. Both wipes are fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and paraben-free. They are formulated with carefully chosen ingredients for safe, frequent use on children's skin including sensitive skin. The wipe fabric has been independently tested and cleared for a comprehensive list of harmful substances to provide parents with confidence in every use.
Are Bubbez wipes safe for kids' faces?
Yes. Bubbez wipes are formulated and independently tested specifically for use on children's hands and faces. Both the WASH wipe and the RINSE wipe are appropriate for facial use. As with any new product, parents of very young infants or children with particular skin sensitivities may wish to test on a small area first.
The Fabric and Environmental Credentials
What is the Bubbez wipe fabric made from?
The Bubbez wipe fabric is made from 100% viscose plant-based fiber. The fabric is textured, which improves cleaning contact with skin compared to smooth wipes, and thick enough to feel premium and soft against little faces.
Are Bubbez wipes biodegradable?
Yes. The Bubbez wipe fabric holds four independent TUV Austria biodegradability certifications, which is one of the most respected certification bodies in Europe. OK Biodegradable SOIL certifies the fabric breaks down naturally in soil. OK Biodegradable WATER certifies breakdown in fresh water environments. OK Biodegradable MARINE certifies breakdown in seawater. OK Compost INDUSTRIAL certifies breakdown under industrial composting conditions. This level of certified biodegradability is uncommon in the wipe category. Most conventional baby wipes and wet wipes are made with plastic-based nonwoven fabrics and carry no independent biodegradability certifications of any kind.
Are Bubbez wipes flushable?
No. Always dispose of Bubbez wipes in the trash. The Do Not Flush symbol is printed on every twin sachet. Even biodegradable wipes can cause plumbing and sewage issues when flushed and should never be treated as flushable.
Are Bubbez wipes cruelty-free?
Yes. Bubbez wipes have never been tested on animals.
When and How to Use Bubbez
When should parents use Bubbez wipes?
Bubbez travel wipes are designed for any situation where a sink is unavailable but a thorough clean is needed. Parents reach for Bubbez at parks and playgrounds after kids play in dirt, mud, and sand. At restaurants before meals and after messy eating. On road trips and during flights when restrooms are inaccessible or unsanitary. At sporting events, school activities, and after-school programs. At festivals, beaches, and camping trips. During face cleanups throughout the day. Anywhere children get into the kind of mess that a single baby wipe or a hand sanitizer was not designed to handle.
How do you use Bubbez wipes?
Using Bubbez is simple. Open the twin sachet and remove the WASH wipe. Gently wipe kids' hands and face, allowing the plant-based formula to loosen and lift dirt and grime. Remove the RINSE wipe and wipe again to clear away any remaining residue. Dispose of both wipes in the trash. Never flush. Hands and face are left clean, soft, and residue-free.
Can adults use Bubbez wipes?
Yes. The two-step system works just as well for adults. Parents who reach into the diaper bag will find Bubbez equally effective for their own hands and faces on the go.
How many sachets should parents bring for a day out?
For a typical outing with two children, most parents find three to five twin sachets sufficient. For longer trips, travel days, beach days, or events where mess is expected, packing more sachets ensures coverage throughout the day. Each box contains 25 twin sachets, which typically lasts an active family well across multiple outings.
