Gentle cleansing: why natural ingredients make the difference
Children's skin, especially in the first few months, is much thinner and more permeable than that of adults. This makes it extremely delicate and vulnerable, not only to external agents but also to unsuitable cosmetics.
For this reason, it is essential to use cleansers formulated with natural ingredients , free from alcohol, SLES, parabens, artificial colors or overly strong fragrances.
Cleansing should not “degrease” the skin, but respect its hydrolipidic film , avoiding alterations or dryness.
🌿 Natural ingredients to prefer
· Rice starch : soothing, absorbent, perfect for irritated skin
· Chamomile : soothing, ideal for redness or rashes
· Colloidal oatmeal : emollient, hydrating, softening
· Aloe vera : balancing, refreshing
· Calendula : repairing and protective
These ingredients not only cleanse, but nourish the skin and help keep it soft, protected and balanced.
🚫 What to avoid when choosing a detergent
❌ Denatured alcohol (can dry out skin)
❌ SLES/SLS (aggressive surfactants)
❌ Intense or allergenic perfumes
❌ Parabens and silicones
❌ Artificial colors
🛁 Daily cleansing: how much and how?
It's not necessary to bathe your newborn every day with soap. In the first few months, bathing every other day is sufficient, using ultra-gentle products.
During daily cleansing (changing diapers, washing hands, face) it is useful to use cleansing waters or soothing baths based on plant extracts .
