Natural hand wipes (for packing in lunchbox)

[pixiesmommy]

I just remembered that last winter I used individually packaged hand-wipes in Pixie's lunch so that she could clean her hands in the event they aren't allowed to go wash them first. I was using Sani-hands and thought that at one time they were alcohol free, but just bought some more (the kids' version- couldn't find the big mega pack like last year of the regular ones) and they have alcohol. She gets eczema on her hands, so I don't want to dry them out further if I can help it.

 

She doesn't have a hand-washing compulsion, by the way, just in case someone is thinking I may be making things worse!

 

Ideas for any botanical/natural ones or alcohol-free ones? I prefer them individually packaged, but I could always use a baggie if I need to.

 

Thanks!

Clean Well is a great product. Whole Foods carries it but I think its available most places now...

As a mom to a contamination OCD child, I have had to give up most of my own germ issues. It often causes me a giant mental struggle - my need to keep her healthy, and my desire not to add to her latent (at this point) fears. Both sides are so real - sometimes when I see her run her hands on the handrail at the mall, I want to scream out loud! This year, her class' "service project" is helping at a preschool - she will teach a class then assist for another 3 hours. I love the idea, and Meg is thrilled. But I just keep thinking about the germ factory that she is about to enter.... Ask me if I will be sure she takes abx that day....

How about Wet Ones sensitive skin? They also come in individually wrapped packages. I keep the bigger canister in the car for when we got to the park.
