Re: Wipes, wipes, wipes...

Thanks for the reply Sheriff. I checked the ingredients list for the sensitive brands and they all have the aloe leaf extract in them. Is this the same as having true aloe in them? Is aloe extract different?

Wipes, wipes, wipes...

I have been on the hunt for a replacement for the expensive CPAP wipes. I have checked the stores all over and when I look at the ingredients list for every baby wipe that I can find (even sensitive types) include aloe leaf extract.
