Fragrance-free Diapers, A Great Option
Fragrance-free diapers are no longer a rarity on the market. In fact, most parents are choosing to use them as a first choice because they are such a beneficial product. And as far as babies are concerned, no precautions taken for their well-being are too much.
Every day, the steps taken when manufacturing all kinds of baby products are becoming more and more numerous and with much more minute control. Without a doubt, the objective is to prevent the health of the little ones from being harmed.
We must remember that babies are vulnerable to everything because they still have immature physical characteristics. In this sense, the skin, as the largest organ in the body and which is most exposed to environmental factors, has not yet managed to complete its development and needs to be treated with care and delicacy.
Babies’ skin is much thinner than that of an adult, which is why it is so prone to suffering all kinds of injuries. Furthermore, your immune system is not yet strong enough to fight external aggressions. So, when wearing a diaper, it means that if it doesn’t meet the right requirements, it can harm the baby’s skin.
About baby products
Baby products must be completely free of substances that could be harmful, such as: alcohol, parabens, PEG emulsifiers, artificial fragrances and perfumes, detergents, among many others.
Parents should pay close attention to the composition of the products they decide to use for the baby, even those for topical use. As mentioned earlier, no precaution is too much.
This does not mean that the idea is to isolate the baby in a bubble of overprotection, but rather to be aware of which options are best (and why) rather than others.
So how are products suitable for babies?
- First, they must not only be explicitly stated that they are intended for babies, they must also be dermatologically approved.
- Second, they shouldn’t interact with the baby’s skin aggressively. For example, soaps should cleanse gently, without removing the natural layer of fat that protects the skin so much. This type of soap is characterized by not generating foam and being moisturizing.
- Thirdly, the products must be free of artificial fragrances and perfumes, because the components of these substances are derived from petroleum which, in addition to being too aggressive for the baby’s skin, can also lead to severe toxicity, even in minimal doses. .
- In addition to all this, they must also be free from talc and mineral oils, as they damage the baby’s skin with friction.
Allergen-free, unscented diapers
There are brands that offer non-perfumed, adjustable diapers with a very soft texture and an original design. Its high quality, both in component selection and in manufacturing, has received the approval of skin care experts, pediatricians and parents around the world.
As if that wasn’t enough, some products are also made with materials that respect the environment, with a minimal risk of allergy. In this sense, it is worth noting that the cellulose, microspheres and other materials used come from sustainable and certified forest activities.
In addition, there are also ‘Cruelty free’ products , which indicates that the company does not test animals of any kind, neither during the manufacturing process nor afterwards. Therefore, these products can be used even by vegan families.
The unscented diapers are made with materials that allow your baby’s skin to breathe easily. They also absorb excess moisture effectively and there is no irritation caused by friction. Therefore, these products are highly safe for direct contact with the baby and for daily use for several hours.
