                             INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors
Personal Care Holdings, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Personal Care
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 29, 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Personal Care
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 29, 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)  ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

     Personal Care Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is a manufacturer, marketer
     and distributor of personal care product lines, including Chubs, Wet Ones,
     Diaparene, Binaca, Mr. Bubble, Ogilvie, Dorothy Gray, Satura, Better Off
     and Tussy.  The Company has operations in Australia, to market and
     distribute Chubs to the Australian and New Zealand markets.  The Company
     was formed on April 1, 1996 as a result of the purchase of the Personal
     Products Division of Reckitt & Colman by the Company.  Although the Company
     sells its products in thirty countries worldwide, approximately 90% of the
     Company's sales are to customers in the United States.  The Company
     operates in the consumer products segment.


(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     Personal Care Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  All intercompany
     transactions and balances have been eliminated.

     INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is principally
     determined by the first-in, first-out method.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is calculated
     using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
     related assets, which range from three to forty years.  Leasehold
     improvements are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the
     shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the
     assets.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, and
     replacements and betterments are capitalized.

     INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Goodwill is related to the acquisition of the business and is being
     amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years, the estimated future
     period to be benefited.

     Included in other assets are deferred financing fees and patents.  These
     costs are being amortized over seven years (the term of the loan agreement)
     and ten years, respectively.

                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

(2)  CONTINUED

     The Company evaluates, when circumstances warrant, the recoverability of
     its intangible assets on the basis of undiscounted cash flow projections
     and through the use of various other measures, which include market share
     and business plans.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of merchandise.  Net sales
     consist of gross revenue less expected returns, trade discounts and
     customer allowances.

     INCOME TAXES

     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
     consequences attributable to the differences between the financial
     statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
     respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 
     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
     expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
     differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on
     deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
     in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

     STOCK COMPENSATION

     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  As permitted
     under SFAS No. 123, the Company elected not to adopt the fair value-based
     method of accounting for its stock-based compensation plans, but will
     account for such compensation under the provisions of Accounting Principles
     Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
     and related interpretations.  The Company has, however, complied with the
     disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term investments
     with original maturities of three months or less.

     FISCAL YEAR

     The Company's fiscal year includes the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the last
     Saturday in March.  The year ended March 29, 1997 included 52 weeks.

     USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect

     The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant
     portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at March
     29, 1997 are presented below:

     Management of the Company has determined, based upon expected income in the
     future, that it is more likely than not that operating income will be

(9)  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate their fair value
     as of March_29, 1997.  The methods and assumptions used to estimate the
     fair value of the financial instruments vary among the types of
     instruments.  For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
     payable and accrued expenses, the short maturity of the instruments and
     obligations supports their fair value at their respective carrying amounts.
     The carrying amount of the Company's debt approximates its fair value due
     to the variable interest rates which approximate current market rates.  


(10) COMMITMENTS

     The Company has several noncancellable operating leases, primarily for
     office and warehouse space and automobiles, expiring at various dates
     through 2002.

     Future minimum rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases as
     of March_29, 1997 are as follows:


          Year ending March 29               Amount

(11) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     (a)  STOCK OPTION PLAN

          The Company has adopted the Non-qualified Stock Option Plan (the
          "Plan") providing for the granting of options to purchase up to
          151,619 shares of common stock to officers, directors, consultants and
          key employees.  Any options granted generally become exercisable,
          commencing twelve months from the date of grant, at the rate of 20%
          per year for five years, subject to the attainment of certain
          financial targets by the Company.  Each option granted under the Plan
          is generally exercisable for ten years.

                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

(11) CONTINUED

          The following table summarizes information about stock options
          outstanding, of which none was exercisable, at March 29, 1997:

               Outstanding:
                    Exercise price            $   40.30
                    Number outstanding          151,619
                    Remaining contractual life  9 years


          The Company applies APB No. 25 and related interpretations in
          accounting for its stock-based compensation plan.  Accordingly, as the
          exercise price at the date of grant equaled the estimated fair value
          of a common share, no compensation cost has been recognized in
          connection with the Plan.  The Company has adopted the disclosure-only
          option under SFAS No. 123.  If the accounting provisions of SFAS_No.
          123 had been adopted, the Company's net loss for the year ended
          March_29, 1997 would have been increased on a pro forma basis to
          $1,624,467.  This effect was calculated using the minimum value method
          to value stock options at the date of grant.  Zero dividends, a 6.72%
          risk-free interest rate, and a ten year life were assumed in the
          calculation.

     (b)  WARRANTS

          In connection with the term loan agreement with Reckitt & Colman
          ("R&C"), on April_1, 1996, the Company issued 20,000 common stock
          purchase warrants to R&C.  These warrants allow R&C to purchase 20,000
          shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $40.30,
          adjusted as defined in the agreement.  In general, the warrants allow
          R&C to purchase 6,666 shares on July 31, 1998; an additional 6,666
          shares on August_31, 1999; and an additional 6,667 shares on
          August_31, 2000.   The warrants are canceled if the term loan payable
          to R&C (see note 6) is paid in full prior to the July 1998 exercise
          date.

     (c)  COMMON STOCK

          During the year ended March 29, 1997, the Company sold 7,320 shares of
          common stock to certain key employees at a price of $40.30 per share. 


(12) BUSINESS CONCENTRATION

     Most of the Company's customers are located in the United States.  One
     customer accounted for approximately 20% of the Company's net sales in the
     year ended March_29, 1997.  The Company's top five customers accounted for
     approximately 30% of total net sales in the same period.

                   BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF PRO FORMA INFORMATION

     On July 21, 1997, Playtex Products, Inc. (the "Company") completed a
refinancing of its senior indebtedness (the "1997 Refinancing") designed to
increase its financial and operational flexibility.  The 1997 Refinancing
includes: (i) the issuance of $150.0 million principal amount of   87/8%
unsecured senior notes due July 15, 2004 (the "Senior Notes"), (ii) a $150.0
million senior secured term loan due September 15, 2003 (the "1997 Term Loan"),
and (iii) senior secured credit facilities  (the "1997 Senior Secured Credit
Facilities") of $170.0 million comprised of a $115.0 million revolving credit
facility (the "1997 Revolving Credit Facility") and a $55.0 million term loan
facility (the "1997 Term A Loan").  The 1997 Term Loan and the 1997 Senior
Secured Credit Facilities are known collectively as the 1997 Credit Agreement
("1997 Credit Agreement").  The net proceeds from the 1997 Refinancing were used
to retire the indebtedness outstanding under the Company's prior credit
agreement originated in 1995.  Concurrently, this credit agreement was
terminated.  The rates of interest on borrowings under the 1997 Credit Agreement
are, at the Company's option, a function of various alternative short-term
borrowing rates, as defined in the associated credit agreement.  Quarterly
commitment fees of three-eighths of one percent on the unutilized portion of the
1997 Revolving Credit Facility and an agency fee of approximately $0.1 million
per annum are also required.  Fees and expenses associated with the 1997
Refinancing of approximately $10.0 million are amortized over the term of the
associated indebtness.

     On January 6, 1998, the Company acquired Carewell Industries, Inc.
("Carewell") for approximately $9.2 million in cash.  Carewell manufactures and
markets the Dentax-Registered Trademark- line of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and
dental floss for distribution through food stores, drug chains, and mass
merchandisers.  The acquisition, which was financed under the Company's 1997
Revolving Credit Facility, was accounted for as a purchase.

     On January 26, 1998, the Company acquired certain tangible and intangible
assets related to the Binky-Registered Trademark- pacifier business ("Binky')
from Binky-Griptight, Inc. for approximately $1.2 million in cash and $0.5
million in notes payable due July 27,1998.  The acquisition, which was financed
under the Company's 1997 Revolving Credit Facility, was accounted for as a
purchase.

     On January 28, 1998, the Company acquired Personal Care Holdings, Inc. 
("PCH") for approximately $91.0 million in cash and 9,257,345 shares valued 
at $9.875 per share of the Company's common stock.  PCH manufactures and 
markets a number of leading consumer product brands, including Wet 
Ones-Registered Trademark- pre-moistened towelettes, Chubs-Registered 
Trademark- baby wipes, Ogilvie-Registered Trademark- home permanent products, 
Binaca-Registered Trademark- breath spray and drops, Mr. Bubble-Registered 
Trademark-children's bubble bath products, Diaparene-Registered Trademark- 
infant care products, Tussy-Registered Trademark- deodorants, Dorothy 
Gray-Registered Trademark- skin care products and Better Off-Registered 
Trademark-depilatories.  The cash portion of the consideration paid for the 
PCH transaction was financed with borrowings under the 1997 Term Loan.  The 
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

     The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the
acquisitions of Carewell, Binky, and PCH (the "Acquired Companies") as if they
had occurred on December 27, 1997.

                   FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 27, 1997
                                    (UNAUDITED)


I.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve
     month period ended December 27, 1997 gives effect as if the 1997
     Refinancing and the acquisitions of the Acquired Companies had occurred 
     on December 29, 1996, the first day of the Company's fiscal year ending 
     December 27, 1997.

II.  1997 REFINANCING PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS - The following is a description of
     the pro forma adjustments associated with the 1997 Refinancing.  
     
     (a)  To eliminate interest expense of $31.1 million and amortization of
          deferred financing of $0.4 million associated with the Company's prior
          credit agreement.

     (b)  To record pro forma interest expense on borrowings in connection with
          the 1997 Refinancing and to record the amortization of deferred
          financing costs associated with the 1997 Refinancing.  The pro forma
          interest expense on the variable rate indebtedness included in the
          1997 Refinancing was calculated using an average interest rate of
          7.29%.  This rate represents the average rate that would have been in
          effect under the terms of the 1997 Refinancing for the twelve months
          ended December 27, 1997. To the extent the assumed variable interest
          rate fluctuates 1/2 of 1%, the Company's interest expense would be
          impacted by approximately $1.2 million.

     (c)  To record the tax effect of the adjustments specified in notes (a) and
          (b) at statutory rates.

III. ACQUISITION PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS - The following is a description of the
     pro forma adjustments associated with the acquisitions of the Acquired
     Companies.          

     (e)  To record amortization of intangible assets associated with the
          acquisition of the Acquired Companies over their estimated useful
          lives (up to 40 years) of these assets in conformity with APB 16.

     (f)  To eliminate the Acquired Companies interest expense and amortization
          of deferred financing costs.

                   FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 27, 1997
                                    (UNAUDITED)
                                          
III. ACQUISITION PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (continued)

     (g)  To record interest expense as if the borrowing under the Company's
          1997 Credit Agreement used to finance the purchase of the Acquired
          Companies had occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year ended
          December 27, 1997.  The average interest rates, as described in Note
          II(b) above, were used to determine pro forma interest expense. To the
          extent the assumed variable interest rate fluctuates 1/2 of 1%, the
          Company's interest expense would be impacted by approximately $0.6
          million.

     (h)  To record the tax effect of the adjustments specified in notes (e),
          (f), and (g) at statutory rates.

     (i)  To record the issuance of 9,257,345 shares of Playtex's common stock  
          associated with the acquisition of PCH.

     The pro forma adjustments for the Acquired Companies do not give effect to
consolidation savings or other changes in revenue or other costs of the Acquired
Companies that may occur subsequent to their acquisition by the Company.
