How important is a baby shampoo for sensitive skin?

Washing a baby's hair requires a delicate touch. But when is hair washing necessary? In the first few months of a baby's life, navel care is a priority. During this time, babies are very sensitive to cold, which must be considered during body care.

Around the fourth month of life, the first hair washes for babies are recommended. Some parents even wait a year before using a baby shampoo for sensitive skin for the first time. The exact timing depends on your baby's individual hair growth.

Some children are born with a considerable amount of hair, while others may wait a long time. In general, the rule is: the denser and longer the hair, the earlier you can start gently washing it during baths. If the hair is still very fine, clear water is sufficient.

Once you find it worthwhile to use baby shampoo for sensitive skin, wash your child's hair as needed. A hair wash per week should be sufficient initially, unless multiple washes are necessary.

The BS®-BabyShampoo is a skincare product specifically designed for highly sensitive skin, making it excellent for use in babies and toddlers. What immediately stands out is its outstanding compatibility.

Even the most attentive parents might experience a situation where some shampoo gets into the baby's eyes. In these situations, our BS®-BabyShampoo is very forgiving as it causes no burning sensation on these sensitive areas.

Ingredients of the BS®-BabyShampoo

The BS®-BabyShampoo contains:

• Decyl Glycoside
• Lactic Acid
• Panthenol
• Xanthan Gum

Decyl Glycoside is an especially mild base surfactant. It gives the shampoo its typical consistency and ensures good foaming ability. The ingredient offers an additional advantage: it can emulsify fats without losing its foaming properties.

Lactic Acid is an essential component of any good shampoo designed to be gentle on the scalp. It is a completely natural part of the skin's acid mantle.

Maintaining the integrity of this mantle is crucial because only then can it truly protect the skin. If it becomes imbalanced, it can lead to dry patches and skin irritations, which can, in turn, cause annoying itching.

In the shampoo, lactic acid ensures a skin-friendly pH level. This pH level is in the acidic range between 4.5 and 5.5, a range that the BS®-BabyShampoo adheres to naturally. This ensures that the vital acid mantle on the baby's scalp remains undamaged.

The third ingredient, Panthenol, provides valuable moisture to the skin and hair. It soothes sensitive scalp, making it an indispensable component of the BS®-BabyShampoo.
