Quezon City-based environmental group EcoWaste Coalition called on local executives to emulate the ordinance passed by Baguio City that bans the sale of chemical-laced baby wipes that are harmful to infants and toddlers.

City Ordinance No. 8, series of 2020, entitled “Prohibiting the Sale of Wet Wipes and Other Similar Baby Products with Harmful Ingredients in the City of Baguio” authored by Vice Mayor Faustino Olowan was passed by the City Council on January 20 on the motion of Councilor Philian Louise Weygan-Allan and seconded by Councilors Joel Alangsab and Elaine Sembrano, and subsequently approved by Mayor Benjamin Magalong on January 28.

According to the World Allergy Organization, a global federation of allergy, asthma, and clinical immunology societies, “contact dermatitis is a skin disorder characterized by redness, itching, and vesiculation resulting from contact with environmental substances that elicits an allergic and/or irritant response.”

The ordinance prohibits the sale of wet wipes and similar baby products containing iodopropynyl butylcarbamate , methylchloroisothiazolinone , methylisothiazolinone and parabens.
