In the world of baby care products, ingredients are more than just chemical names, they are an expression of art – an extraction of nature, a respect for science, and a protection of the gentle connection between mother and baby.
At Xiran Baby, we know that every baby’s skin is unique. As a professional manufacturer of baby skin care products, we are committed to creating personalized, hypoallergenic, and natural care formulas for different types of baby skin and providing safer and more effective baby skin care solutions through scientific matching and streamlined ingredients.
In this article, we will help you understand the ingredient art of ingredients behind baby skin care formulas so that you can clearly present the core ingredients and their effects. Prepare for the future private-label baby skin care.
Why are the ingredients of baby care products so important?
The thickness of baby skin is only about 1/5 of that of adults, with a weak sebum membrane, rapid water loss, and an unestablished immune barrier. Choosing the right ingredients and customizing the right formula is the first step in caring for baby skin.
The skin barrier of babies is not fully developed yet, and the skin thickness is only about 1/5 of that of adults. Compared with adults, the sebum membrane is weak, water is lost quickly, and they are more susceptible to irritation. Babies have a lower tolerance to irritating ingredients, so they need:
- Low irritation, no allergens
- pH close to the weak acidity of the skin (about 5.5)
- Nourishment ingredients from natural plants
- No controversial preservatives such as fragrances, alcohol, and parabens
Choosing the right ingredients and customizing the right formula is the first step in caring for baby skin.
