HiPP BabySoft Gentle Wet Wipes for Face and Hands - 20 cnt

HiPP BabySoft Gentle Wet Wipes for Face and Hands, 20 wipes, from the first day of life

HiPP BabySoft Gentle Wet Wipes for Face and Hands are baby wipes made for the two places a wipe gets used most, suitable from the first day of life. This is the small 20 wipe pack, soaked in a mild lotion on a fine-fiber cloth, with a resealable closure. HiPP makes them without parabens, paraffins, mineral oils or artificial fragrances.

A face-and-hands wipe is a different thing from a diapering wipe, and the difference is the lotion. A wipe used around the mouth will end up in the mouth, and a wipe used on hands goes straight to whatever a baby picks up next. So the lotion on these is kept deliberately short: five entries, no fragrance listed, and nothing on the panel doing anything beyond lifting dirt and keeping the pack stable.

The cloth is the other half of it. HiPP describes fine fibers giving a particular softness, which is what you want on a face rather than the thicker, more textured cloth that suits a bottom. For a newborn baby wipe on cheeks and eyelids and the folds under the chin, softness matters more than scrubbing power.

The 20 wipe count is the point of this pack rather than a limitation. It is the size that goes in a coat pocket or the side of a diaper bag without taking the space a 48 or 72 pack takes, which makes it the travel pack you carry in addition to the big pack at home. The closure reseals so the last wipe is as wet as the first.

What HiPP leaves out is part of the specification: no parabens, no paraffins, no mineral oils and no artificial fragrances. As a German baby care product it is the plainest item in the HiPP wipe range, built to be unremarkable in the best sense.

Whose skin this pack is for, and what it is not for

HiPP dates these from the first day of life, so they are built for the youngest skin in the house. The age range is the useful part: the same pack suits a newborn's face after a feed, a one-year-old's hands before lunch, and a toddler who has found something sticky. Nothing changes as your baby grows.

They are made for face and hands, which is the use HiPP gives them. That is worth taking literally rather than as a suggestion. A face-and-hands wipe carries a lighter lotion than a diapering wipe, so using this pack for a diaper change works but spends a small pack quickly; using a diapering wipe on a face is the swap that is better avoided. If you want wipes for changes, that is a different pack in the range.

Because the lotion is short, there is less on it to react to, but less is not none. Stop using them if the skin becomes red or irritated and speak to your doctor or pharmacist if that does not settle. Read the panel on the pack you receive before first use, as you would with any product going on a newborn's face.

How to use them

HiPP publishes the use for this product — face and hands, external use only — but no frequency, technique or quantity. The steps below are general practice for using a baby wipe rather than manufacturer instructions. Follow whatever is printed on the pack you receive.

What is on the wipes

The lotion panel for this pack is below. It is short enough to read in one go, which on a product used around a baby's mouth is the most useful thing about it.

What the five entries are doing

This is the complete panel rather than a selection from it, so the table above covers every entry. The panel printed on the pack you receive is the one that governs.

What HiPP leaves out of them

On a wipe used around a baby's mouth the exclusions are usually the reason for buying, so they are set out here with the qualifier that belongs to each one rather than as a row of badges.

• No parabens
• No paraffins
• No mineral oils
• No artificial fragrances
• Soaked in a mild lotion
• Fine-fiber cloth
• Resealable closure
• Five-entry lotion panel

These are HiPP's own statements for this product, as carried on this listing, except the five-entry panel count and the absence of a Parfum entry, which are read directly off the panel above.

What you get, and where a 20 wipe pack fits

This listing is one pack of 20 wipes. No number of days or changes is given here, because how fast a pack of face-and-hands wipes empties depends entirely on how many meals happen away from a sink, and HiPP publishes no usage rate for it.

What is worth setting out is where this size sits against the rest of the HiPP wipe range, because the 20 pack is usually bought alongside a larger one rather than instead of it.

These are separate HiPP products with separate lotion panels, listed here by count and purpose only. No equivalence between their lotions is implied. No number of uses per pack is claimed, because no usage rate is published for this product.

Written from the lotion panel, product features, warnings and stated use carried on this listing for HiPP BabySoft Gentle Wet Wipes for Face and Hands, 20 wipes, which are HiPP's own text for this pack. Only statements carried by that source are made. HiPP's own German product page for this item could not be retrieved while this page was written, so the panel has not been re-checked against the manufacturer's current published list; the panel on your pack governs. The from-birth age and the 20 wipe count are taken from the product itself. A statement that the wipes are suitable for caring for skin prone to neurodermatitis has been removed, because wording of that kind is not used on this store for any product. No usage rate, and therefore no uses-per-pack figure, is published for this product, so none is stated. Last reviewed 17 October 2026.
