Best Skincare Soap for Baby – Myth or Truth?

A mother is the first as well as ultimate guardian for any infant. Logically she will be very cautious about nurturing the baby, by all means. That includes proper care for keeping the baby safe and secure from skin infections, lest the sufferings the loving baby undergoes will reflect manifold times in the minds of any mother. Yet it is a moot point whether all mothers, especially first-time mothers, are aware of the real facts as what to use and what not, in respect of taking care of the delicate and sensitive skin of their babies. The craving for using best skincare soap for babies can be easily top among them.

At the very outset, expert dermatologists are of the unanimous opinion, that the popular notion of mothers is misconceived that they need use baby soaps for bathing. Surprisingly, the modern medical fraternity relies upon the habits of our forefathers, where there was no such “baby soap” at all, and universally mothers used only home-made products and Natural Substances, for bathing newborn babies till they attain the age of school-going. So why introduce something afresh, which is against the wellness of the baby’s skin?

The reasons adduced by experts for this conclusion are well-founded. Out of them, here are a few that can convince you why you need not waste money on baby soaps, and in that process bring forth unwanted troubles and problems to your newborn’s sensitive skin.

Softness of the Baby Skin:

As a prudent mother, you won’t give whatever you eat to the baby. This is because you know very well the digestive organs of the infants are so delicate that it can never intake an adult-food. Likewise, when it comes to baby skin-care products, you should understand that the baby’s skin is so soft and tender that it can never bear the harshness of adult bathing products.

Expert baby-skincare Research Scientists of Dr. Reddy’s Lab say that compared to an adult-skin, a baby’s skin is 30% less in thickness. Owing to this thin structural nature, the infant baby’s skin is vulnerable to outside attacks, like micro-organisms and bacterial infection largely.

There is no need to mention that if these bacterial infection are overlooked, your baby will undergo lots of sufferings over the skin that are shown by reddish bumps, spots, rashes, acne-pimples, whiteheads, prickly heats to highly irritating Eczema etc.

Another setback caused by the thin baby-skin is, they absorb water easily and also loses water-content rapidly, to make it dry. Increased water loss eventually causes inability to moisturise the skin, to neutralize the chemical compositions coming into contact from outside. All bathing soaps, including the so-called best baby skin care soap for baby are manufactured with substantial quantities of harmful chemicals.

This follows that you need to support the baby-skin’s self-moisturising tool inherent, by not using baby soaps, but only effective alternative Natural Substances, rich in moisturising contents.

Some astonishing truths about soap manufacture:

Thousands of companies all over the world manufacture soaps for bathing use of adults. If you think and analyze the soap you are using as a woman, you can easily understand how you get satisfied after bathing, using that “fantastic soap”.

First of all it should contain pleasant fragrance; it should cleanse the dirt and dust totally from your skin’s surface; the cleaning should be perfect by abundance of foam from the soap cake; and the freshness should be longer-lasting afterwards. All these “qualities” of a bathing soap can never be achieved, if the bathing soap does not contain cleaning chemicals; washing chemicals; foam-creative chemicals; fragrance-emitting substances, as well as highly intoxicating chemicals to keep the “verve” of the soap for a long time.

Now will you dare using the same soap on your newborn baby’s skin? The thought itself will cause embarrassment. Why? The infant’s skin is fragile and is in the developing stage. So whatever chemicals that get neutralized by your adult-skin, even if you use the bathing soap daily, can cause deadly consequences, if used for bathing a little baby.

Dermatologists of Dr. Reddy’s Lab go to the extent of saying that there is no need for fragrances, contained in any best skin care soap for baby. The stanching smells can cause allergic reactions in the tender baby’s skin.

For that matter, experts advise against even applying talcum baby powder, for one there is no need since the baby’s skin has natural barrier against infections; and two the talcum powder can spread minute particles in the air, to enter the nostrils of the infant to cause breathing troubles.

Natural Substances in the form of Best Alternative:

The age-old practice of mothers using Natural Substances as bathing pastes is commended upon, as safe and sound for your baby’s tender skin. Accordingly, the Baby Skin-care Specialists of Dr. Reddy’s Lab have evolved an innovative compound, which is 100% safe and contains Natural Substances derived from Herbs, into a soap-free Bathing Bar “Daffy”.

After extensive Research over the complexities of fragile baby-skin, and going through medical expert’s opinion about the use of best skin care soap for baby, Dr. Reddy’s Lab has offered to passionate mothers, the wellness of Daffy to be used while bathing their babies.

This soap-free Bathing Bar is devoid of harmful chemicals in the first place. Secondly in accordance with the tolerable limits of baby’s skin, which is found to get affected by the alkaline baby soaps possessing a high pH rating (potential of Hydrogen – a Chemistry symbol for liquids), Daffy has been compounded with a pH rating of 5.5, which is best for baby’s skin.

Third benefit is Daffy is enriched with Shea Butter and Aloe Butter. Your baby’s skin is protected by an acid-film on the surface of the skin. This filmy barrier is known as Acid Mantle; and gets fully grown up at adult stage. So till such time, the baby’s skin should be supported with healthy moisturizer content. Shea Butter is derived from an African Tree and acts as powerful moisturizer, to preserve your baby’s skin’s acid content.

Aloe Butter is a derivative of Aloe Vera, a popular Indian Herb, which acts as best anti-oxidant that prevents damage, and nourishes your baby’s skin. With so many benefactors are there in Daffy, why should you search in vain for best skin care soap for baby, which is only a Myth?
