Protecting Your Baby's Delicate Skin: The Ingredients to Avoid

Protecting Your Baby's Delicate Skin: The Ingredients to Avoid

21st Jan 2023

As parents of a four-month-old baby, we understand the importance of protecting our little one's delicate skin. When it comes to baby care products, the ingredients used can make all the difference. We always make sure to be aware of the ingredients that we would never want to put on our baby's skin.

One of the ingredients we avoid is parabens. Parabens are a type of preservative that is commonly used in personal care products to extend their shelf life. However, they have been linked to hormone imbalances and even cancer. That's why we always make sure to avoid any products that contain parabens, especially for babies.

Another ingredient we avoid is phthalates. Phthalates are used to make personal care products more pliable, but they have been linked to a variety of health problems, including reproductive and developmental issues. We always make sure to avoid any products that contain phthalates, especially for babies.

Sulfates are another ingredient we avoid. Sulfates are used to create a foamy lather in personal care products, but they can be harsh on the skin and can cause irritation and dryness. That's why we always make sure to avoid any products that contain sulfates, especially for babies.

Fragrances are also an ingredient we are cautious of, as they can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. Many fragrances are synthetic and can be harsh on sensitive skin, we always look for fragrance-free options or products that use natural essential oils as fragrance.

Lastly, alcohol is another ingredient we avoid when it comes to baby care products. Alcohol can dry out the skin and cause irritation, making it best to avoid any products that contain alcohol, especially for babies.

When creating our Original Protective Baby Ointment, we applied this same reasoning when it comes to the ingredients we use. We made sure that our product is free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, synthetic fragrances and alcohol, so that it is gentle enough for a baby's delicate skin. The Ointment is also made with natural ingredients, that are known for their soothing and protective properties. We always make sure that our product is of the best quality and safe for babies to use.

In conclusion, when it comes to baby care products, it's important to avoid ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, sulfates, synthetic fragrances and alcohol, as they can cause irritation and other health problems. It's best to choose products that are made with natural, safe ingredients that are gentle enough for a baby's delicate skin, like our Original Protective Baby Ointment.
