(EN) Which natural baby soap is right for your little one and How to choose?
Best Shampoo Options for Your Little One
Baby's skin is very soft, sensitive, and still developing. Therefore, choosing baby soap cannot be arbitrary. The soap used every day should not only clean, but also maintain moisture and protect baby's skin from irritation. Therefore, it is important for parents to understand how to choose safe and natural baby soap.
1. Choose soap with natural ingredients
The ideal baby soap should contain gentle natural ingredients and be specially formulated for baby's sensitive skin. Natural ingredients are known to be kinder to the skin, help maintain natural moisture, and minimize the risk of irritation or allergies. Natural formulations also tend to be lighter, contain no harsh additives, and help maintain the natural balance of baby's skin from an early age. Some of the following natural ingredients are known to effectively treat and protect baby's skin, among others:Solanum Lycopersicum Extract : Sebagai antioksidan, membantu meregenerasi kulit, meningkatkan kesehatan kulit secara keseluruhan
Solanum Lycopersicum Extract: As an antioxidant, helps regenerate skin, improves overall skin health.
Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract: Gently cleanses and provides a moisturizing effect.
Tremella Fuciformis Extract (Snow Mushroom): Moisturizes and improves skin hydration.
Yeast Extract: Helps improve skin condition and maintain skin moisture.
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Almond Oil): Softens and maintains skin elasticity, and soothes sensitive skin.
2. Avoid harsh chemicals
Always check the composition label on the product, avoiding baby soaps that contain:
SLS/SLES (Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate): a harsh cleansing agent that can dry out the skin.
Parabens: preservatives that can disrupt hormones
Alcohol: risks making baby's skin sore or dry
3. Make sure it is pH Balanced
Baby's skin has a natural pH that tends to be slightly acidic (around 5.5). Choose a soap labeled "pH balanced" so as not to damage the baby's natural skin barrier. Use moisturizer regularly, immediately after bathing (within 3 minutes of drying off), when the skin is still slightly moist.
4. Use soap free of synthetic fragrances and dyes
Soaps with artificial fragrances and colors may look attractive, but they can cause irritation or allergic reactions. It is safer to choose baby soaps that are synthetic perfume-free and dye-free, or use natural fragrances from flowers and plants.
5. Choose dermatologically tested products
Make sure your baby soap of choice has:
Dermatologically tested.
Passed hypoallergenic test.
Has a distribution permit from BPOM.
This ensures that the product is safe to use for baby's skin, even for sensitive baby skin.
6. Choose products rich in Multivitamins
Choosing baby soap should not only moisturize and soften baby's skin, but also nourish baby's skin to make it healthier, more comfortable, and protected from irritation. Choose cleansing products that contain Multivitamins, such as vitamins A, B, C, E, and other essential nutrients that can help maintain skin balance, strengthen the skin barrier, and support the natural regeneration process. Formulas enriched with 10 types of vitamin complexes are the right choice to provide comprehensive care from head to toe.
Choosing a safe and natural baby soap is not just about cleansing the body, but also keeping your little one's skin comfortable and healthy. Always read the label, recognize the ingredients, and choose a trusted product. Because healthy skin is the beginning of a happy baby!
