Our Story…

 

Making an idea come to life.

I had an idea of something missing in my every day life for about a year and finally decided to take a leap of faith (especially from my normal career as a blogger and event producer) and try to create it. I’ve always been grossed out by how dirty my phone seemed - from sweating on it at the gym to always having it with me in the bathroom (admit it, you’re on your phone on the toilet too!). It even got to the point that I would take all my calls on speaker phone. I didn’t want that thing to touch my already acne prone skin! After extensive research I learned there currently wasn’t any non-toxic device wipes on the market – from there, Wipeys was born. Over the next two years, and through extensive R+D, my initial concept grew into four categories to cover not just devices but also hands, face and surfaces. Wipeys are something I wish I always had - especially as an avid traveler. Up until now I never thought about the dirt and grime around me on such simple things such as a phone or airplane tray table. Now, don’t get me wrong - I think germs are good for us to build our immune systems…but wiping away the little bit we can helps live a cleaner life - especially with something that contains clean ingredients.

Wipeys With Added Lemon

Over the last few years I fell in love with what seemed like a “trend” of clean beauty. I quickly realized its not just a trend, clean beauty matters. There are ingredients in formulas, for even basic things we use, that should not be in our products - especially ones that touch our skin, and little ones too! Seeing my aunt go through cancer and now remission and how much clean beauty means to her after her immune system has taken a toll - it matters.

We can’t change every product out there but, why not choose “clean” when it comes to your favorite products - like Wipeys!

Wipeys are manufactured in a facility based in the USA that is committed to improving the livability of our world in the present and for the future by taking a broad based sustainability initiative. The woman owned facility invested in the installation of solar energy generation system and are FSC and Rainforest Alliance certified. The ability to provide FSC-certified wipe substrates contributes to a global effort toward a more responsible management of forestry resources. They work with NSF and QAI for certifiable organic in order to reduce toxic load, prevent pollution, build a healthier earth, protect future generations & promote biodiversity. Lastly, they are committed to producing more products with flexible packaging by offering RecycleReady film and eco- friendly secondary packaging options. We are excited to work with a facility that understands the product lifecycle from the beginning to the end and doing what they can to reduce our impact on the environment.
