How to select baby skincare products

Today, baby-related products industry supplies us with a great selection of skincare items, each of which must meet high quality and safety standards. However, there are still quite many of them that can potentially harm your baby’s skin instead of protecting it. That is why it is crucial to choose the one that will protect your baby from the negative effects of the environment such as dust and act mildly, without causing irritation or allergy. In this blog, you will find guidelines that you can use while making your choice.

First and foremost, choose products that are made specifically for babies. You cannot apply your own skincare products on the baby’s skin because it is much more delicate and susceptible to dryness and irritation. Items for babies are much more protective besides being milder.

Ensure that the items you select do not contain  dyes, parabens, or phthalates. Avoid such components as spirits, harsh soaps, preservatives, etc. Babies can absorb more of them than we do, which makes them highly dangerous and may even because the cause of such heavy disorders as asthma.

Be careful with products labeled “natural”. In a number of countries where they are products, there is no regulation with regard to using “natural” in the description, which means that they can contain preservative. Do not rely on the label and check all the ingredients yourself.

In order to avoid any possible allergic reactions, use hypoallergenic items, approved by a dermatologist. Even the most delicate baby skin will not suffer from them.

Remember about pH balance. Products you select should be pH-neural so that the skin of your baby is better protected from various irritants and is well-balanced.
