14 test products
Test indicators Safety indicators: MIT /CMIT preservative, dioxane performance indicators: pH value, active substance content.
Recommendation form
The preservatives of five products exceed the EU standards, and the secret language deserves attention.
Methyl isothiazolinone (MIT) and methyl chloroisothiazolinone (CMIT), including their mixture "Carson", are preservatives widely used in cosmetics. However, this kind of preservative has potential contact sensitization, and it is more susceptible to stimulation for infants with immature skin barrier. China's cosmetics standards stipulate that the highest concentration of MIT should not exceed 100mg/kg, and the upper limit of cassone concentration for washing products is 15 mg/kg. EU cosmetic regulations are stricter. In view of the increasing number of allergic incidents, the usage limit of mit was reduced from 100mg/kg to 15mg/kg, and it was only used for washing cosmetics.
The test results show that among 14 children's shampoos and shower gels, 6 allergenic preservatives MIT and/or CIMT were detected, including Honey Language, Qichu, Good Boy, Crocodile Baby, Frog Prince and Baby Jinshui, and their contents all meet the requirements of Chinese standards. It should be noted that the MIT content of Honey Language, Chichu, Good Boy, Crocodile Baby and Frog Prince is 68~94mg/kg, which is 4~6 times higher than the EU cosmetic standard.
In addition, Xiao Daochang also noticed that Honey Baby Two-in-One Shampoo and Body Wash not only detected 94mg/kg of MIT, which was close to the highest limit required by China's cosmetics standards, but also did not indicate that it contained the preservative on its packaging, which did not meet the national requirements and belonged to unqualified products.
Honey Baby Two-in-One Shampoo Body Wash (Turtle) ingredient label (not labeled with methyl isothiazolinone)
The Guidelines for the Declaration and Evaluation of Children's Cosmetics, which was formulated by the State Administration of Market Supervision (formerly China Food and Drug Administration) in 20 12 and implemented in 20 13, stipulates that when selecting flavors, colorants, preservatives and surfactants, we should adhere to the principle of using less and not using them on an effective basis, and pay attention to their potential allergenicity. Gao Jinna, Marketing Director of Aixin Company, suggested that children's toiletries, especially infants, should pay more attention to the rational use of preservatives and avoid using preservatives such as carsone, methyl isothiazolinone and formaldehyde releasing agent, which are common in adult products.
Based on the above test results, Xiao Daochang does not recommend parents to use honey words, qi Chu, good boy, crocodile baby and frog prince for their children. Dioxane is classified as a class 2B carcinogen by the International Institute for Cancer Research (IARC). However, if dioxane is detected in shampoo and shower gel, it is mostly a by-product brought in by surfactants during the manufacturing process, which can be said to be impurities. China's cosmetic standards stipulate that the limit of dioxane is 30 mg/kg, and the European Union Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) points out that the safe content of dioxane in cosmetics should not exceed 10 mg/kg. The test results show that only one of 14 baby shampoo and shower gel can detect 4. 1 mg/kg dioxane, which meets the requirements and suggestions of Chinese standards and European Union SCCS, and is safe for normal use.
The weak acidity of the four pH values is more in line with the weak acidity of newborn babies' skin surface, which is an important factor for them to resist microorganisms, and this is the core of the functional maturity and repair process of epidermal barrier. At birth, the full-term baby's pH value is close to neutral, ranging from 6.3 to 7.5. After two weeks, the pH value dropped to about 5. In the second and fourth weeks, the pH value gradually became acidic, about 4.2 5.9. However, Gao Jinna, the marketing director of the nursing company, said: "Although there are differences in the skin pH value of infants of different ages, the pH value has not changed much. During the dynamic development of baby's skin, the skin is basically weakly acidic. At present, pH5.5 is closer to the microecological balance and healthy development of infant skin. "She believes that mothers should pay attention to the protection of weak acidity whether they choose bath products or skin care products for their babies. Therefore, in addition to weak acidity, the pH value of baby bath products should be close to 5.5 for newborns. The test results show that the pH values of 14 children's shampoo and shower gel are weakly acidic, and the pH values of Shiba Inuya, Honey Language, Baby Crocodile and Sonda are close to 5.5, which is more suitable for babies born more than 2 weeks.
Johnson & Johnson and Aveeno have better cleaning effect. The cleaning effect of shampoo and shower gel mostly depends on the active substance and its content. The test results show that 14 children's shampoo and shower gel meet the requirements of national standards. Among them, the total active substance content of Johnson & Johnson and Aveeno is higher than other 12 models, and the cleaning effect is better. However, the cleaning ability of Red Elephant, Baby Gold Water and Haloflash sanosan is slightly worse, but it is still above the standard requirements.
In addition, consumers should choose toiletries suitable for their age according to their skin characteristics and age. For example, at present, child care products are subdivided into "infants" (suitable for children aged 0.3) and "children" (suitable for children aged 3. 1. 1 year). Some parents may think that "babies don't need to take a bath often, and they can use shower gel six months ago", but Gao Jinna doesn't agree with this practice. She explained that because the baby's metabolism is fast, the daily life will also be stained with dirt. If not cleaned, the bacteria and dirt left on the baby's skin will stimulate the skin to produce inflammation. Therefore, it is very necessary to use baby shower gel for baby bathing six months ago. However, frequent bathing can also damage the baby's skin, especially the newborn. The oil in the skin is protective, so if the baby is not particularly dirty, it is not necessary to take a bath frequently. After the baby takes a shower, you can properly apply the baby's special lotion.
Bathing the baby is quite laborious. We should not only consider the water temperature and bath tools, but also consider what kind of shower gel the baby uses. After all, for babies prone to eczema or skin allergies, shower gel may also be one of the reasons. Bao moms can't just give it to their babies!
Faced with all kinds of baby bath products on the market, treasure moms are always at a loss when choosing. The following are the suggestions given by the evaluation of xiaohonghua:
First of all, what needs to be considered is security.
1, whether the ingredient list of shampoo and shower gel contains "dioxane". Dioxane is an organic compound, which is mainly used as solvent, emulsifier, detergent and so on. It is mainly a by-product brought by surfactants in the manufacturing process, which belongs to impurities. Slightly toxic, irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory system, and may cause damage to liver, kidney and nervous system. Therefore, treasure moms must not ignore this problem.
2. Does the ingredient list of shampoo and shower gel contain "MIT /CMIT"? MIT (methyl isothiazolinone) and CMIT (methyl chloroisothiazolinone) are common preservatives. Because of their strong anti-corrosion ability, these two ingredients are commonly used in shampoo and shower gel, while MIT and CMIT have the risk of skin sensitization, and the limit requirements of MIT and CMIT in various countries have been adjusted.
3. Does the ingredient list of shampoo and shower gel contain "formaldehyde" and "formaldehyde donor preservative-DMDM hydantoin"? Among them, formaldehyde donor preservatives will slowly release formaldehyde to achieve the purpose of preservation, which may cause skin irritation to some babies. If you have wounds, sensitive skin or eczema, you should be more careful.
4. Is there "essence" in the ingredient list of shampoo and shower gel? Essence is the most allergic ingredient in cosmetics, so baby must pay attention to it when using it. It's best to buy shampoo and shower gel without essence.
Secondly, what needs to be considered is irritation.
1, and whether the PH value of the product is between 5.5 and 7.0. When the baby is 0- 18 months old, the pH of the skin will drop from about PH6.5 to about 5.5. Therefore, the weakly acidic shampoo and shower gel with a pH value of 5.5-7.0 are closer to the pH value of the baby's skin and more gentle to the skin.
2. Whether the surfactants in shampoo and shower gel products have strong irritation. According to the "zein test method", the stronger the irritation of surfactant, the greater the solubility; The less irritating the surfactant is, the worse its solubility is.
According to the voting of "Little Red Pollen" and referring to the sales of major e-commerce platforms, 16 common baby shampoo and shower gel products were selected for PK. The test criteria are mainly safety and irritation, and the following are the test results:
As can be seen from the above figure, 16 products all meet the requirements of the national standard, among which "Shiba Inu Baby Bubble Bath", "Hello Flash Two-in-One Baby Bath" and "Frog Prince Children Bath Bath" have been detected to contain trace dioxane, although they are all within the standard range, it is better to consider them.
"Yumeijing", "Wuyang", "Jinshui Baby" and "Frog Prince" were all detected to contain CMIT or MIT, but none of them exceeded the standard. It was found that the addition of "Qi Chu" and "Good Boy" was close to the national standard requirement of 0.0 1%, which exceeded the EU requirement of 0.005438+05%.
"The formaldehyde content of" Baby Shampoo and Bath Lotion in Nursery "is low, which is within the standard range, but mothers should not underestimate it.
"Songda" and "California Baby" contain no essence, and their products contain essence.
Avanade, Miaosile and Songda are less irritating. Johnson, frog prince, hello flash, very exciting.
The PH values of Miao Lesi, Jia Luoshan, Bei Qin, California Baby, Johnson & Johnson and Red Elephant are low, which is not the best PH range.
To sum up, the evaluation of Xiaohong recommended "Songda Baby Camellia Oil Shampoo and Bath Lotion" with safe ingredients, low irritation and affordable price, and "Aveeno Natural Oat Baby Shampoo and Bath Lotion" with safe ingredients, no essence and low irritation. If you want to know the detailed evaluation information and process, you can pay attention to "Little Red Flower Evaluation" and get a complete evaluation article.
Shampoo and shower gel tips:
1. Baby's skin is tender, so don't use adult shampoo. Use shampoo and shower gel for babies or children.
2. Read the product ingredient list carefully when purchasing. It is recommended that infants prone to skin sensitivity, eczema and other skin problems avoid using products containing CMIT, MIT and formaldehyde-releasing ingredients.
3. Due to individual differences, even products with safe ingredients should be stopped immediately if there are allergies and abnormal skin during use.
My baby always uses the red elephant, which is quite good, gentle and harmless to the skin. Bathing and shampooing will not hurt your eyes.
My baby likes Bainuoen foam shampoo and shower gel. Gently clean baby's scalp and whole body skin, safe and non-irritating, with a faint floral fragrance. Bubbles are gentle and delicate, gentle and easy to rinse. As a mother, I often use them secretly [giggle]. Mamakids were all idle by me, and I returned a bottle to 158 yuan. Bainuoen shampoo and shower gel are its fraction, hahaha.
Avanade, security assessment!
My baby has been using Woah original Ubisoft shampoo and lotion, and it feels good.
Extract nature from the source and care for it with you! Hehe always provides all-round physical and mental care for pregnant mothers, newborn babies and children, and accompanies the healthy growth of baby families with high-quality natural plant products and advanced parenting concepts. Our products are green without additives, and are designed separately for boys and girls, which is more suitable for baby's delicate skin.
I used to use the boy-girl version, which is mild and easy to wash, but it seems a little dry after washing my daughter's long hair.
So I want to change it. The recently bought Wuyang is very good and does not irritate the baby's skin. I didn't find the phenomenon of short hair again.
I have used Ainuowei, Japanese Begin and Bainuon. Personally, I prefer Bekin and Bainuon in Japan because they are bubbles.
The baby is 3 years old and has used many bath brands. I don't have any research on ingredients, just choose according to online evaluation and brand selection.
First of all, California baby marigold two-in-one bath
This is the product I am using, which integrates shampoo and bath. It is formulated with organic plants and is also suitable for babies with sensitive muscles. Repair calm skin and drive away annoying prickly heat.
Second, Miaosile shampoos and bathes in one.
I also used this model, and later I took it back to my grandmother's house to use it. I bought a California baby at home. It is a patented formula of avocado, and the more you wash it, the more moist it becomes. Protect skin barrier, gentle and tear-free formula, natural cleaning ingredients.
Third, Aveeno shampoo and shower gel.
This brand should be recommended by many people. I have used its moisturizing products. Unique natural formula, moisturizing, soothing and cleaning.
Bainuoen infant moisturizing shampoo and shower gel, weakly acidic formula, natural plant shower gel, containing calendula, honeysuckle and other extracts, no mineral oil, no colorant; Fluffy foam gently cleans baby's scalp and whole body skin, which is safe and non-irritating, giving baby natural care.
