1. The care product must be for children. Banality, you say? Not at all. Some parents think that their organic or homemade skin care products are fine even for a newborn. We do not advise you to risk your baby's health like that.
Bathing products must be age-appropriate, dermatologically tested and certified.
2. The product must be colorless, with minimal odor or without it at all. The less dyes and perfumes, the better for the baby's skin. If you bought a baby - and his hair smells like a bathing agent for another day - it means it is overly scented.
3. The product must be hypoallergenic - check that this is clearly indicated on the packaging. Not all children's cosmetics have this property. Also, it should be free of parabens, silicones and sulfates. Be sure to read the composition of what you buy for your child.
4. Use reliable firms. Often, companies that professionally produce children's cosmetics are well-known. You can experiment with new brands, but with extreme caution and after carefully reviewing the reviews.
Particularly dangerous is the combination of an unfamiliar brand with a very low cost - most likely, the quality of this product should not be trusted.5. Don't buy a large can at once. Take the smallest amount of bath product for a sample, conduct an allergy test on a small area of the skin. And only when you are sure that the product is suitable, take it in a large and, of course, more profitable volume.
6. Look at the expiration date. Not everyone is used to studying the expiration date of shampoo, soap or shower gel. Therefore, when buying a product for bathing a child, it is easy to forget about it again.
Nevertheless, baby cosmetics, like any other, should not be used after the expiration date.
