Children's cosmetics mainly include skincare, cleansing, hygiene products, and sunscreen products, among which cleansing and hygiene products are the most commonly used, such as infant soap, bath liquid, and shampoo in the cleansing category, and talcum powder, body powder, and floral water in the hygiene category.

Points

Since infants and young children's skin is particularly soft and delicate, when choosing cosmetics, it is important to consider not only the non-toxicity to the skin and eyes but also to ensure the products have low irritation.

Therefore, the following principles should be followed when purchasing children's cosmetics.

1 · Purchase products from professional and reputable manufacturers

When buying children's cosmetics, try to purchase products from professional and reputable children's cosmetic manufacturers.

At the same time, try to buy mature and well-established products, as these products have undergone a longer period of market validation and are generally safer.

2 · Purchase products with simple formula components

The simpler the product formula, the lower the possibility of safety risks, especially for the very delicate skin of infants and young children. It is advisable to purchase weakly acidic cleansing products with simple formulas that do not contain fragrances, alcohol, or colorants to reduce the risk of irritation to the baby's skin.

3 · Purchase small packaged products

Since the amount used for infant care products is relatively small each time, a product often takes a long time to finish, so it is advisable to choose products with a long shelf life and not overly large packaging to ensure they are used up within the shelf life.

4 · Purchase products that are difficult for infants and young children to open

When selecting children's cosmetics, choose products that are difficult for infants and young children to open or break the packaging to prevent them from ingesting or inhaling harmful substances while playing.

5 · Avoid purchasing products with excessive foam

Products with excessive foam tend to be more irritating. For children's cosmetics, it is advisable to choose products that have a refreshing texture and feel smooth after use, and to avoid products with excessive foam.

6 · Purchase products from legal channels

Consumers are advised to purchase children's cosmetics from legal channels and can check the label information of the purchased cosmetics against their product registration or filing information by logging onto the official website of the National Medical Products Administration or using the cosmetics regulatory APP. If there is a discrepancy, the product quality is questionable.

Consumers should properly store the products and check whether they are within the validity period.
