For infants aged 0-6 months, it is advisable to choose gentle and moisturizing care products. For infants aged 6-36 months, in addition to gentle and moisturizing properties, cleaning effectiveness should also be considered. The frequency and duration of bathing infants should be determined based on individual needs, taking into account different seasons and environments. Generally, bathing once a day or every other day is sufficient, and it is important to choose mild and non-irritating bathing and shampoo products. Within 5 minutes after bathing, infant skin care products should be applied all over the body, used every 12 hours or as needed, and different moisturizing products should be selected based on the dryness of the infant's skin, season, and environment.

② Sunscreen products:

For newborns, the demand for outdoor activities is low. Infants under 6 months have delicate skin, and their body surface area to weight ratio is high, making them more prone to adverse reactions when applying sunscreen products. Therefore, sunscreen products should not be used, and it is advisable to avoid going out during direct sunlight (from 10 AM to 2 PM). If going out is necessary, physical methods of sun protection such as wearing hats, using umbrellas, and wearing light-colored cotton clothing should be prioritized. For infants aged 6 months to 2 years, clothing should still be the main form of sun protection, but physical sunscreen products with SPF 10 and PA+ can also be used, preferably in cream form. For children over 2 years old, physical sunscreen products with SPF 15, PA+, or PA++ can be chosen, still preferably in cream form.

Considerations for purchasing children's cosmetics

◉ 1. It is recommended to purchase children's cosmetics from legitimate and legal channels. When purchasing, pay attention to whether the Chinese name or visible packaging clearly states that it is suitable for children, and whether it has the "Little Gold Shield" mark for children's cosmetics.

◉ 2. Since the amount used for infant care products is relatively small each time, in addition to paying attention to the shelf life when purchasing, it is advisable to buy small packaged products.

◉ 3. After purchase, you can check the label information of the cosmetics you bought and whether it matches the product registration or filing information by logging into the National Medical Products Administration website (www.nmpa.gov.cn) or using the mobile app "Cosmetics Supervision". If there is a discrepancy, the product quality is questionable.

◉ 4. Cosmetics should be used according to the instructions indicated on the packaging. When a child uses a new cosmetic for the first time, it is advisable to try a small amount on a small area. If your baby experiences discomfort after using children's cosmetics, stop using the product immediately and observe. If symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention promptly.

◉ 5. Before each use of children's cosmetics, check for discoloration, oil-water separation, or mold spots, and smell to see if there is any off odor, and store the product properly.
