Using baby shampoo

While toddlers generally love water and bath time, the same can't always be said for shampoo. But shampoo is essential.

For maximum scalp hygiene and silky hair, young parents can choose between different types of shampoo:

Gentle (or very gentle)shampoo : designed not to sting sensitive little eyes, baby shampoo can be used daily. It gently cleanses fine hair and leaves it shiny, while respecting the hair fiber. Enriched with glycerine, chamomile and coconut oil, this shampoo also makes detangling easier for older children.
2-in-1" cleansing gel : ideal for newborns, it cleanses baby's body and hair in a single step. Practical, it comes in a tube for easy transport. Most often soap-free, it compensates for the drying effect of hard water with extra-greasing agents.
Foaming shampoo : ideal for the prevention and care of cradle caps from birth, this type of shampoo can also prevent a cold sensation when applied. Its ultra-gentle cleansing base doesn't sting the eyes, doesn't run, facilitates sebum elimination through the sebo-regulating action of salicylic acid, and limits fungal proliferation.

Baby shampoo: which composition to choose?

Bathing requires appropriate body care, and the same applies to hair care. As with the skin, baby's scalp is very thin, sensitive and easily irritated. What's more, as baby's sebaceous glands are activated during pregnancy by maternal hormones, they are extremely developed at birth, resulting in the inevitable presence of excess sebum on the scalp.

For baby, choose hair care products :

Gentle, specially formulated for babies
Hypoallergenic (i.e. formulated to limit the risk of allergies)
pH-neutral (to protect the scalp)
With the most neutral formula possible: dye-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free and soap-free (so they don't sting the eyes).

Bath time is not only an essential part of baby's hygiene, it's also a time to awaken and relax. An important part of the bath, shampooing is an opportunity to take care of your baby's hair and fragile scalp. Discover our shampoos to make the most of these special moments, and learn how to clean your baby without damaging his delicate, immature skin!

Criteria for choosing a baby shampoo

Babies' scalps, like their skin, are extremely sensitive. The sebaceous glands, over-activated by maternal hormones during pregnancy, often produce excess sebum at birth. Consequently, it's essential to use suitable products to avoid irritating this fragile area.

Features to look for :

Gentleness and tolerance: Formulas specially developed for babies. Hypoallergenic products, limiting the risk of allergy.
Scalp-friendly: pH neutral to preserve the skin's natural protective barrier.
Safe ingredients: Free from colorants, fragrances, parabens and soap. Enriched with moisturizing and soothing active ingredients to prevent irritation.
Safe for the eyes: tear-free formula to avoid stinging the eyes when rinsing.

Tips for effective, pleasant shampooing

Frequency of use: A mild shampoo can be used daily for infants. Two or three times a week is usually enough to wash a baby's hair, unless medically indicated otherwise.
Method of application: Apply a small amount of shampoo to your hands or directly to wet scalp. Massage gently in light circular motions.
Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove any residue. Dry hair with a soft towel, patting gently to avoid irritating the scalp.

A special moment: bathing and shampooing

The bath is much more than a simple hygiene routine: it's a moment of complicity and awakening shared by baby and parents. Incorporating shampooing into this ritual reinforces the emotional bond, while taking care of baby's hair health.

Tips to make the moment a pleasant one:

Use a soft glove or your hands to apply shampoo.
Adopt a calm, reassuring attitude to soothe baby.
Sing or speak softly to keep him entertained during washing.
Make sure the water temperature is just right (around 37°C).
