1. Security

The main components of baby shampoo and shower gel are similar, and they are all plant extracts such as surfactants, preservatives and flavors. Preservatives are used to maintain the quality of products. As long as it is used safely, it is harmless to human body. Therefore, we need to pay attention to those risky preservatives. The main function of surfactant in bath products is cleaning and decontamination, and it can also foam. Sulfate surfactants are the main irritants, so the choice is to avoid these ingredients as much as possible.

Be gentle

Basically, all baby care products will be called "friendly to baby's delicate skin". A mild and non-irritating product, in addition to picky ingredients, pH value is also a very intuitive consideration standard.

When the baby is born, the skin pH value is close to neutral (about pH 7), and then the skin pH value begins to gradually decrease to weak acidity (pH 4.5-6.5, slightly different for different ages). Therefore, when choosing shampoo and shower gel for your baby, you must pay attention to choosing products with similar pH value to your baby's skin to bring gentle and effective care to your baby's delicate skin.

3. Cleaning ability

Dirt will not be washed away by the foam of bath products, and the amount of foam has nothing to do with cleaning effect. The "hero" who removes dirt is actually a surfactant, and foaming is also one of its characteristics. The amount of foam in different products may only be due to the different surfactants selected.

Generally, moderate cleaning will wash off excess grease and bacteria on the face, leaving a thin grease layer on the skin surface, while frequent excessive cleaning will wash off the grease layer. Therefore, in order to protect the sebum layer of the skin, we can reduce the cleaning frequency and choose bath products with less cleaning power.
