The word “children’s” on a bottle of shampoo is usually not another marketing ploy, because children’s shampoos are actually different from those intended for adults.
What is the difference between baby and adult shampoo
Adults' hair gets dirty much faster than children's.
The explanation is that babies have much thinner skin and less sebum production.
For this reason, soap and adult shampoos cannot be used for babies, as they are generally too aggressive, lead to dry skin and cause irritation and itching.
How to choose baby shampoo
Make sure that your shampoo does not contain sulfates. They are surfactants "responsible" for breaking down fats and creating soap foam. Another unpleasant feature is that sulfates sting the eyes.
Another ban in children's shampoos applies to parabens, that is, preservatives. They are needed to prevent bacteria from multiplying in the bottles with their soapy contents. Such additives can cause allergies in children.
