Which soap should I choose for my baby's bath?
Ahhh, baby's bath time! They wiggle, they squirm, they play with the water while you… wonder which soap is best for them. It's a question worth considering, as hygiene for little ones is truly essential. We'll explain how to choose the right baby hygiene products to make bath time a lovely, gentle, and bonding moment.
What is the best soap for washing babies?
To cleanse the sensitive skin of newborn babies, several baby products are suitable: superfatted soaps, cleansing oils, or cleansing gels. When choosing, take a look at the ingredient list. Generally, the shorter it is, the better! Choose a product with as many naturally derived ingredients as possible and preferably fragrance-free. Because babies' skin is delicate, the goal is to cleanse it gently. The key is gentleness! For a product to glide smoothly over the skin (whether it's a soap, an oil, or a gel), it needs a nourishing, oily active ingredient, such as plant-based oils. Aloe vera extract, olive oil, apricot kernel oil…: thanks to these naturally oily ingredients, the skin is cleansed without being dried out. Finally, it is best if the product you choose for baby's bath is hypoallergenic* and tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control.
Using the same product for my baby's face, body and hair: good or bad idea?
It's a good idea if the product in question is designed to cleanse a baby's face, body, and hair. Generally, this information is indicated on the packaging or bottle. If it says "3 in 1," then bingo: this product has been specially designed for daily cleansing! This is the case, for example, with our cleansing oil or our cleansing gel . Thanks to their 3-in-1 formula, your baby's skin and hair will be gently cleansed, and you'll only need one product at bath time. And for convenience, nothing beats a pump bottle!
And what about Yuka in all of this?
You're right to ask the question. To choose the best baby soap, Yuka can help. Thanks to the app, you can search for fragrances and endocrine disruptors. If all the indicators are green, then you're good to go!
Cleansing oil or cleansing gel: which to choose for baby's hygiene?
In the world of baby toiletries, Dodie has two camps: those who swear by the cleansing oil and those who wouldn't dream of giving up the cleansing gel. Both are 3-in-1 products formulated with over 90% naturally derived ingredients. They are, of course, hypoallergenic* and made in France. So, you might be thinking, "What's the difference?!" Well, it's mainly about texture! Some people like the "oil" effect on the skin and the suppleness it provides, while others prefer the foaming power and refreshing feel of the gel. Containing organic apricot kernel oil, the 3-in-1 cleansing oil instantly moisturizes the skin, strengthens the hydrolipidic film, and gently yet effectively cleanses.
