Materials and Safety: What are Pampers Diapers Made of?
We know that trying to make sense of what's in your baby's products can be intimidating, even scary. But it doesn't have to be. We're here to help if you have any questions about our quality and safety standards.
We at Pampers take as much love and care to determine what materials and ingredients are not included in our products as we do to evaluate the ingredients that go in them. What are disposable diapers made of? This is a common question, and we ensure all our materials are safe and effective.
That's why we do not add any of the following ingredients to our Pampers products*:
