SMART Care: How to Choose Baby Care Cosmetics?
All the best for kids. Moms will understand, because they choose each skin care product for their kid with special care. But how to decide in such a variety of options? How does kid's cosmetics differ from adult ones, how to check the composition and what to pay attention to? Read the article and find out right now!
What is hidden behind the words Kid's Cosmetics?
Many of you have probably wondered how kid's cosmetics differ from adult ones and why a tear-free shampoo can't be made for mom and dad. And it all turned out to be quite simple: the pH balance of a baby's skin is lower than ours, so manufacturers create special formulas for kids with softer components, which, unfortunately, cannot cleanse skin and hair of an adult. Although there are exceptions, adapted for both kids and adults.
Safety First
Skin of babies is very sensitive, so the abundance of components in the composition can cause a negative reaction. Moms, remember: the shorter the composition, the safer it is for your kid. You should be especially wary of the following components in baby care:
· SLS, SLES
· Parabens
· Phthalates
· Dyes
· Synthetic fragrances
They will irritate baby's delicate skin and cause them more discomfort than benefit. Here's what a phd, pediatrician and simply happy mom Maria Kulikova says about it:
Like other doctors around the world, I have seen an increase in the number of allergy sufferers. One of the reasons for this is baby hygiene products with “overloaded” compositions.
The rule Less Equals Better works without fail
Each ingredient in the formula is a potential allergen, so baby hygiene should be based only on the most necessary and safe components for your kid. The amount of care products should not be excessive either: gentle cleansing, moisturizing and diaper cream are enough.
Say No to Allergy!
We all see very well that with the development of the cosmetic industry, the number of allergy sufferers is also growing. But allergies are formed from the first years of a kid's life! To protect your baby, choose products with a minimum of active components, without silicones, dyes and fragrances. If a product has a strong smell, it's a sign that it might be worth putting it on the back shelf. It's best to look for baby cosmetics with the most natural ingredients, so the baby will be more comfortable. Also, make sure that the products have undergone clinical tests for hypoallergenicity. This is usually indicated on the packaging.
Choose Responsibly
With the current wide range of products for kids, you want to try everything. The mistake many mothers make is buying products from different brands. Diaper cream from one, shampoo from another. But if the kid's skin is irritated, it will be much more difficult to determine which product caused the negative reaction. Therefore, we recommend buying products from the same series to clearly understand what suits the baby and what does not. Experiments in this matter are not very appropriate, and if the brand is suitable, then it is better to stop your choice on it. By the way, if you are not a mother for the first time, this does not mean that the same product will suit your youngest kid as his or her older brother or sister - this needs to be checked, because in this matter everything is very individual.
Where Do I Find Baby Care?
It is desirable that the mother herself knows the brand and trusts it. Perhaps on the recommendation of friends or from her own experience of using "adult" cosmetics. We, in turn, recommend the new Faberlic product - Umooo, a series of gentle care for the little ones. After all, it complies with all the rules for caring for babies.
A baby is exposed to squalane even before birth: in the womb, its skin is coated with a special substance that contains its own version of squalane and provides natural protection for several hours after birth.
By choosing the right care, every mom can be sure that the baby's skin will remain soft and smooth, like on the first day of life, and no external factors will change it
