As a parent to a newborn baby, you want the best for them. Your wee ones need feeding, caring, and cleaning to keep them happy and content. On the subject of cleaning, your little ones require thorough cleaning from head to toe. The right baby shampoo and wash will clean your baby and at the same time keep their skin, scalp, and hair healthy. Let’s have a look at the different factors you need to consider before deciding on the baby shampoo and wash for your precious one. 

1. Chemical & Dye-free Shampoo 

Parabens, sulfates, artificial dyes, colors, formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers, and other harsh chemicals may irritate your baby’s sensitive scalp and skin. These chemicals are known to cause allergies and health problems in babies. Avoid any baby shampoo that contains these kinds of harmful chemicals and dyes. 

2. Natural and Organic Ingredients

Infants and toddlers have delicate and sensitive skin. Some have dry skin and even suffer from baby eczema. To protect your baby’s skin and scalp, check for natural and organic ingredients. Unlike chemical-based shampoos, they are not allergic to the baby’s skin and are safe to use. Natural ingredients like shea butter and aloe vera provide necessary nutrients and nourishment to your baby’s skin and scalp. These organic ingredients will keep your baby’s scalp and skin moisturized and hair healthy and shiny. 

3. Vitamin-based Baby Shampoo

Look out for a baby shampoo that is loaded with skin-friendly Vitamin A, B, C, and E groups of vitamins. Check if the wash and shampoo products contain ingredients like green apple, amla, basil, and aloe vera extracts. These powerhouses provide an extra boost of nutrition to your baby’s skin, scalp, and hair roots. The vitamins in them nourish your baby’s hair and skin. They protect your baby’s scalp and hair from sun damage and also improve the hair texture. 

4. Baby Shampoo with No-Tear Formula

Search for a shampoo with a tears-free formula like O’Mumsie’s baby shampoo and wash. It is free of any harsh chemicals and eye-irritating substances that may cause redness and itchiness in your baby’s eyes. The result is a happy baby that fully enjoys his/her bath time. 

5. No-Alcohol Baby Shampoo and Wash 

Ensure that the baby shampoo you get does not contain any alcohol. Alcohol-based shampoos are used to effectively clean the hair as it removes oil and dirt. But alcohol dries out the skin and strips the hair of its essential nutrients. It is bad for the sensitive scalp and hair of babies. Select the no-alcohol baby shampoos containing coconut-based cleansers along with amla, chamomile, and lime oil. These ingredients gently remove dirt and grime while nourishing your baby’s delicate scalp and hair.

6. Hypoallergenic Baby Shampoo

Hypoallergenic baby shampoo is the best option for the long-term skin safety of your baby. Hypoallergenic shampoos like O’Mumsie’s are mild and do not cause allergic reactions. These are gentle on your baby’s scalp and skin and do not irritate it.  

7. Neutral PH Baby Shampoo

The pH value of an aqueous solution denotes its relative acidity or alkalinity. Hair and skin products for babies should not be too alkaline or too acidic. A neutral pH shampoo made with the mildest ingredients gently cleans the scalp and hair of babies. It maintains the optimum skin pH balance and keeps your baby’s skin healthy and soft.

8. Mild and Natural fragrance

Shampoo for your baby should not have chemical and synthetic fragrances. These are too harsh for your little one’s hair and scalp and damage their skin too. Instead, choose baby shampoo containing essential oils like lavender and chamomile oil. These essential oils provide a mild natural fragrance that soothes and relaxes your cuddle bunny and protects their delicate skin at the same time. 

9. Read Labels and Check Expiry Dates

Read carefully about all the ingredients present in the product before deciding on the baby shampoo and wash. Look for products that have natural and organic ingredients and are free of harmful chemicals like parabens and sulfates. Also check the expiry date of the product and use it before the stipulated time is over.  

10. Products from the Same Brand

Good brands focus on a particular segment or vertical and create products that complement each other. The same brand products focus on the different needs of their target consumers and create products accordingly.
