the ideal pH value suited for a baby's skin is about 5.5

Saranya Mom of 2 children 3 years ago

for baby's skin, the pH value should be less than 5.5 since it will not make any damages or allergies to them... so i could always recommend to use the baby soaps after verifying pH value of the product.. Sebamed baby soap s a gud option for their little skin...

However, as a parent, you should know certain essential parameters while choosing the correct baby soap for your little one:
pH Value (near 7)
Without paraben.
Hypoallergenic.
Tear Free.
Gentle Lather.
Gentle Fragrance.
Fixings.
Sebamed is good for babies as I am using this since my baby was born and she is 1.5 years and I am still using the same product till date. I haven't experienced anything bad till date. I used mamaearth also but I didn't like the product at all.
