About us

We started with a simple question: why is “gentle” so hard to find?

The Kinder Clean began at a changing table in The Hague, reading a pack of wipes and not recognising half the ingredient list. Everything we make starts there — with what a baby's skin actually needs.

Our story

Kinder is a standard, not a slogan

We could not find a wipe that was genuinely gentle, honestly labelled, big enough for real messes and kinder to the planet — without giving something up. So we made one.

What we refused to accept

Hidden fragrance blends. Thin sheets that need three passes. Plastic-based fibres that outlive the childhood they were bought for. “Unscented” that quietly means masked.

What we built instead

A 99% naturally derived, fragrance-free formula on soft biodegradable non-woven fabric, certified by ECOCERT under COSMOS Natural — in a sheet 1.5x larger than standard, so gentler never means slower.

Our principles

Five commitments we hold every product to

  • 1

    Gentle by Design

    Every formula starts with what baby's skin actually needs, not what's cheapest or easiest to produce.

  • 2

    Radically Transparent

    No hidden ingredients, no vague “fragrance” listings. What's on the label is what's in the pack.

  • 3

    Planet Conscious

    Biodegradable materials and responsibly sourced ingredients, because “kinder” extends beyond the wipe.

  • 4

    Built for Real Life

    1.5x larger wipes and a no-rinse formula, so a clean that's genuinely gentle doesn't have to be slower or harder than a regular one.

  • 5

    Made to Grow With You

    This is just the beginning. We're building a family of products designed around real, everyday moments.

Inside the formula

Fewer ingredients, chosen on purpose

  • Coconut oil

    Chosen for gentle cleansing and care on skin that is used many times a day.

  • Xylitol

    Supports mild oral hygiene — helpful, given how often wipes end up near little mouths and pacifiers.

  • Naturally derived ingredients

    99% of the formula is naturally derived and selected for safety, gentleness and everyday effectiveness.

  • No harsh chemicals

    Fragrance-free, alcohol-free and paraben-free, dermatologically tested.

  • No unnecessary additives

    Fewer, higher-quality ingredients instead of a long label you need to read twice.
