The best baby face creams

What are the functions of a baby face cream

Children’s skin is delicate and susceptible to adverse external factors, so a children’s face cream should meet the following tasks:

• Protection

Sometimes too dry air, frost or heat outside, hard water can cause dryness and irritation of children’s skin. Baby cream should protect the delicate skin of the child due to softening components in the composition.

• humidification

Baby’s skin quickly loses moisture, and baby face cream should prevent this. When used, the cream creates the thinnest protective film on the surface of the body, and the skin remains moisturized for a long time.

• Do not cause allergic reactions

To avoid irritation, dryness, tightness, redness, be sure to carefully study the composition of the product before buying and choose a cream marked “hypoallergenic”. Also be sure to pay attention to the expiration date.

How to choose the right baby face cream

It would seem that it is difficult to choose a children’s face cream. In pharmacies and shops, there is such a choice – for every taste and budget, only the head of parents often goes round. What should be in the composition, and what exactly should not be there? Is the cream or milk suitable for the body and face? What if there is an allergic reaction?

To begin with, it is worth noting that both the smallest children and older kids have their own lines of skin care cosmetics, so do not be too lazy to carefully study the label of the product. It is usually prescribed there, and for what age the cream is intended, and the composition is described in detail, and even possible allergic reactions are also indicated.

The most important difference between a children’s face cream and an adult face cream is that this cream is designed specifically for the needs of children’s skin. This cream does not contain alcohol, dyes and fragrances, parabens, sulfates and mineral oils and is hypoallergenic and pH neutral. Most often, the main component of baby cream is lanolin, glycerin, or vegetable oils – coconut, olive, almond, jojoba, etc. Often, manufacturers add plant extracts of wheat, chamomile or calendula, vitamins A and E to the children’s face cream. If the cream is intended for dry and irritated skin, panthenol is included.
