Read the original editorial assessment
A clean 6-ingredient list since a 2024 reformulation, with no phenoxyethanol and sodium benzoate as the preservative. Confirmed current EWG Verified status, and confirmed OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification granted in March 2025 (certificate #25.HUS.21538, Hohenstein) per Coterie's own published safety report. Non-detect for PFAS in Consumer Reports' June 2026 independent testing. A PFAS class action against Coterie (Saedi v. Coterie Baby, No. 1:24-cv-03893, S.D.N.Y.) concerned Coterie's diapers, not wipes, and was dismissed in October 2024 for failing to plausibly allege the specific product purchased actually contained PFAS — a standing/pleading ruling, not a finding on the merits.

What the evidence tells us
The review links Consumer Reports’ June 2026 testing. Its panel examined 30 named PFAS compounds; a non-detect result applies to that panel and its tested samples, not to every PFAS or every future batch.
What's still uncertain
- Match the reviewed formula to your package; a test does not cover every batch.
- Match the post-2024 formula; the diaper lawsuit is not evidence of PFAS in this wipe.
- Certification scopes differ. None is a guarantee that a product will suit every child.
