Biom has introduced Biom Disinfecting Wipes, a quat-free disinfecting wipe made with a 100% plant-based, biodegradable wipe material. Powered by plant-derived citric acid, Biom Disinfecting Wipes kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, when used as directed, including the virus that causes Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2), in one step, without bleach, quats, ammonia, parabens, or phthalates. Joining Biom’s growing suite of wipe products, including All-Purpose Wipes for everyday surfaces, Hand Sanitizing Wipes made with plant-based alcohol and aloe and Flushable Wipes, the Disinfecting Wipes extend the brand’s commitment to effective cleaning and simple formulations for every part of a routine.

“When we started digging into the disinfecting category, what surprised us most was how much consumers simply aren’t told,” says Will Gahagan, founder and CEO at Biom. “These products meet regulatory standards, but most still rely on quaternary ammonium compounds as their active ingredient – chemicals that have faced growing scientific scrutiny around potential health impacts. At the same time, virtually every major wipe brand uses plastic fibers like polyester in the wipe itself. For something used daily around our families, that disconnect felt hard to ignore.”

Biom’s disinfecting formulation is built around plant-derived citric acid, a powerful active ingredient that works quickly while aligning with growing consumer demand for ingredient transparency. The wipe itself is made from plant-based fibers and contains no plastic, helping reduce long-term environmental impact in a category known for heavy plastic waste. The formula uses EPA Safer Choice-approved ingredients and is designed for frequent, everyday use in homes, schools, gyms, offices and beyond, with an effective botanical formula made from just water and 10 simple ingredients. The wipes are packaged in flexible film, which reduces plastic waste by 90% relative to the canisters, which have long been the standard in the broader cleaning wipes category.

The launch also reimagines the user experience. Biom Disinfecting Wipes are designed to fit inside the brand’s award-winning, refillable dispenser. The disinfecting wipes are available in two scents, Alpine Mint and Fresh Citrus, offering a clean scent that smells fresh without overpowering the room.

Biom Disinfecting Wipes are available now for as low as $4.99 per pack at getbiom.co and Target.
