WHICH DETERGENT TO RESPECT BABIES' SKIN?

As we know, the arrival of a baby in a family generally causes major upheavals, even in the choice of detergents! How to effectively clean your small clothes without damaging your skin? What are the good reflexes to know to be sure to choose the right detergent? Discover all our advice on the subject.

As you probably imagine, the skin of babies, fragile, is not yet ready to face the external aggressions that it can undergo on a daily basis. To avoid redness and irritation, it is therefore important to pay particular attention to any textile in contact with these little bits (and more generally any sensitive skin).

Taking care of it means paying attention to it on a daily basis, right up to the laundry room, as you will have understood. But nothing rocket science, don't worry!

DETERGENT AND SENSITIVE SKIN: COMPATIBLE!

To start, wash your clothes and any other textile directly after purchase, in order to eliminate as many dyes and substances as possible that are toxic to the body. In addition to preserving your skin, this will add your olfactory signature. Two birds with one stone !

Then, of course, choose a suitable detergent. And there is no need for a “baby special” mention. Indeed, this guarantees nothing more than a product that respects sensitive skin. Make sure to avoid preservatives, colorings, antioxidants, allergens as much as possible.

Another ingredient, often unsuspected, can also be at the root of irritation: enzymes. Each type of enzyme makes it possible to dissolve a certain type of stain, which is why we often find a small cocktail of these molecules to facilitate the anti-stain action of your detergents. Useful, you might say... but many of these enzymes are irritating and sensitizing, and should therefore be avoided.

In addition, limit the use of fabric softeners: a good part of them contain substances that are undesirable for sensitive skin. Instead, use white vinegar, which dissolves the limestone contained in the water, thus preventing it from settling on the linen and making it rougher. White vinegar also has the advantage of being an antiseptic.

Finally, prefer long rinsing cycles, in order to eliminate as many residues as possible of the different products from your textiles.
