Your guide to choosing safe baby skincare products

As parents, safeguarding our little ones against harmful products is a top priority, whether it’s the food they eat, the formula they drink or the sleep suits they wear. But it’s especially important for their delicate skin.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a brand-new parent or an experienced carer – the reality is that the wide world of baby care products can be overwhelming. To help you make the best choices for your little one’s skin, this guide will explain what ‘natural’ baby care really means and show you how Pigeon’s Natural Botanical range will give your baby the gentlest and safest skin care they deserve. 

What is ‘natural’ baby care?

In baby care, the term ‘natural’ refers to a commitment to only using ingredients sourced from nature in their purest form. It goes beyond just the absence of synthetic chemicals and extends to formulations that prioritise botanical extracts, essential oils and plant-based ingredients known for their efficacy and safety.

Truly natural baby care products steer clear of harsh chemicals like parabens, sulphates, phthalates and artificial fragrances that could potentially irritate your baby’s delicate skin. Instead, natural products harness the power of nature’s goodness, using ingredients that are minimally processed and retain their inherent therapeutic properties.

By favouring ‘natural’ baby care, parents can provide their little ones with products that support the pure, gentle nature of a baby’s skin. It's about choosing products that not only cleanse and moisturise, but also contribute to the overall health and wellbeing of your baby’s skin over the long term. 

Why it’s so important to choose safe baby care products

Your baby’s skin is considerably thinner and more delicate than an adult’s, making it more susceptible to irritation, dryness and reactions to harsh chemicals – many of which are commonly found in popular skincare items.

Using products full of synthetic additives or potentially harmful ingredients can lead to adverse reactions, including rashes or even allergic responses in babies. This can disrupt their skin’s natural barrier function and make them more vulnerable to external irritants that compromise the skin’s ability to retain moisture. Unfortunately, skin issues during infancy can potentially lead to long-term conditions, which means it’s more important than ever for parents to be discerning about the products they use.

Pigeon understands this responsibility and is committed to providing the safest skincare products for babies. Our Natural Botanical range has been crafted with natural, nourishing ingredients that respect and nurture the delicateness of your baby’s skin.
