For launching a private label baby shower gel, developing a shower gel formula suitable for babies is a particularly cautious and meticulous process. Baby skin is delicate and sensitive. Once the wrong choice is made, it may cause allergic reactions at best, and skin diseases may occur in the worst case.
Therefore, the choice of formula is crucial. In this article, we will help you understand how to design a safe, gentle and effective baby shower gel formula for your private label to ensure that it can meet market needs and win the trust of parents.
Choose mild and non-irritating ingredients.
Babies’ skin is thinner than adults’ skin and has weaker barrier function, so it is particularly important for brands to choose ingredients that contain mild and non-irritating ingredients. The following are some common and mild ingredients suitable for baby skin:
Glycerin: A natural moisturizer that can effectively help the skin lock in moisture and avoid dryness.
Coconut oil derivative (Cocamidopropyl Betaine): A mild cleansing ingredient with a good decontamination effect, but it will not irritate the skin.
Aloe vera extract: It has soothing, calming, and anti-inflammatory effects, is suitable for sensitive skin, and can help soothe irritation during bathing.
Shea butter: A natural plant oil with excellent moisturizing and repairing properties, it is suitable for dry skin and can prevent skin moisture loss.
Vitamin E: A natural antioxidant ingredient that nourishes the skin and reduces dryness and flaking.
Ingredients to avoid:
Alcohol: Can cause skin dryness, irritation, or allergic reactions.
Fragrances and dyes: Even natural fragrances can trigger allergic reactions, especially for sensitive baby skin.
Harsh detergents (such as sulfates): These ingredients may over-cleanse the skin and strip the skin of its natural oils, causing dryness or irritation.
Choose a tear-free formula.
Babies have very sensitive eyes, and using a body wash with irritating ingredients may cause burning or discomfort to the eyes. Therefore, it is important to choose a “tear-free formula” or “eye-friendly” body wash. These formulas are usually specially designed to ensure that they will not cause eye discomfort during bathing.
Pay attention to the pH of the product.
Babies’ skin is usually neutral or slightly acidic, and a body wash that is too alkaline may damage the skin’s natural barrier, making the skin dry and fragile. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a shower gel with a pH value close to that of the baby’s skin (usually between 4.5 and 5.5).
Avoid harmful chemicals
Many commercial shower gels contain potentially harmful chemicals, such as preservatives (such as formaldehyde releasers), sulfates, petroleum-based ingredients, etc. These chemicals may not only harm the environment but may also cause skin allergies or other health problems in babies. For the health of babies, it is best to choose a “chemical-free” natural ingredient shower gel to ensure its safety.
Choose a formula suitable for your baby’s skin type.
Babies’ skin types vary from person to person. Some babies have dry skin, while others have oily skin. It is also very important to choose a shower gel formula based on the baby’s skin type. You can use a shower gel with different formulas to suit them.
Babies with dry skin: Choose a shower gel with higher moisturizing ingredients, such as shea butter, sweet almond oil, etc., which can effectively relieve dry skin.
Babies with oily skin: Choose a light, non-greasy formula to avoid clogging pores, choose a shower gel with gentle cleansing ingredients, and avoid using overly moisturizing formulas.
Babies with sensitive skin: Babies with sensitive skin can choose fragrance-free, dye-free, and alcohol-free products to avoid skin allergies.
Choose shower gels with natural plant extracts.
Natural plant extracts not only provide gentle cleansing effects but also bring additional benefits to your baby’s skin. For example, chamomile extract can soothe the skin, calendula extract has anti-inflammatory effects, and lavender extract helps relax your baby. When choosing a formula, you can prioritize shower gels containing these natural plant ingredients.
Choose a trustworthy manufacturer.
First, make sure the manufacturer has the necessary certifications, such as GMP, ISO, and dermatological testing, to ensure product quality and safety.
Second, choose an experienced manufacturer, especially in the field of baby care, who can provide professional R&D support and customize formulas that meet market needs.
At the same time, the manufacturer should have a strict quality control system to ensure that each batch of products meets the standards. And it can be less customized and convenient for first-time entrepreneurs.
