Baby shampoo should be fundamentally different from adult shampoo in several respects.

The thing is that a child’s skin is much thinner than that of an adult, and much less sebum is produced.

Therefore, shampoos without the “baby” mark on the label will dry out the skin and hair, resulting in itching and irritation.

When choosing baby shampoo, pay attention to the following points.

1. The product intended for washing hair should not contain sulfates. By the way, it is this component that is responsible for stinging eyes.

If you see SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), SLES (sodium laureth sulfate), sodium laureth sulfate in the composition, put the jar aside.

2. The shampoo should not contain parabens. This ingredient can cause allergies.

When studying the labels on the packaging, make sure that there is no E214-E219, benzoic acid, butyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, potassium propylparaben, potassium salt propylparaben, propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate.
