The choice of soap for washing a newborn is an important concern for many parents. In order to guarantee the health and well-being of your baby, you must opt for hygiene care adapted to his delicate skin. Avoid petrochemical ingredients and irritants by opting for gentle and healthy hygiene care. Téane Laboratories present its products for newborn hygiene, including a soap-free washing gel that gently cleans your infant's skin!
Soap for newborns: good or bad idea?
Your newborn's skin has a natural neutral and slightly acidic pH . This helps protect it from bacteria and irritation. Traditional soaps contain alkaline and irritating ingredients:
- Artificial perfumes
- Dyes
- Aggressive conservatives
- Ingredients from petrochemicals
- Surfactants (the ones that make your soap lather)
A long list of ingredients that disrupt the fragile epidermal balance of infants . Therefore, it is advisable to avoid soap for a newborn as it risks drying out their skin and damaging their skin barrier. The result is the risk of developing skin problems such as itching, irritation and eczema patches. This is why using a soap-free cleansing gel is crucial to preserve your baby's delicate and fine skin.
Which soap is preferred for washing your baby?
In order to transform the bathing ritual into a real moment of complicity, we recommend choosing a soap-free washing gel . A perfect hygiene treatment which does not attack your newborn's delicate skin and which respects the natural pH of the epidermis.
When making your choice, you must carefully look at the labels of each product to ensure that the cleansing product is:
- Without soap
- Certified organic
- Without irritants
- Formulated from natural ingredients
- Hypoallergenic
- Soothing
Be sure to select products specifically formulated for newborns that have a gentle and safe approach. Do not use shower gels or soaps designed for adult skin, even if the product has a neutral and hypoallergenic formula. Infant skin has very specific needs because of its very fragile dermis which is permeable to external aggressions!
