Due to the particularly soft and delicate skin of infants and young children, when choosing cosmetics, in addition to considering no toxicity to the skin and eyes, it is also important to ensure that the product has low irritation.

Therefore, when choosing cosmetics for children, the following principles should be followed.


1. Purchase products from professional and legitimate manufacturers

When purchasing children's cosmetics, try to buy products from professional and legitimate children's cosmetics manufacturers.

At the same time, try to purchase mature and old products as much as possible, because such products have been validated in the market for a long time and have higher safety.


2. Purchase products with simple formula components

The simpler the formula composition of the product, the less likely it is to cause safety risks, especially for infants and young children with very delicate skin. It is recommended to purchase weakly acidic care products with a relatively simple formula composition, without fragrances, alcohol, or coloring agents, to reduce the risk of irritation to the baby's skin.


3. Purchase small packaging products

Due to the small amount of infant and toddler care products used each time, it often takes a considerable amount of time to use up a single product. Therefore, it is recommended to choose products with a long shelf life and packaging that is not too large to ensure that they are used up within the shelf life.


4. Purchase products that are difficult for infants and young children to open

When choosing cosmetics for children, products that are not easily opened or broken by infants and young children should be selected to prevent them from ingesting or inhaling harmful substances while playing.


5. It is not suitable to buy products with too much foam

Products with more foam tend to be more irritating. For children's cosmetics, it is better to choose products with fresh texture and a feeling of lubrication after use, rather than products with too much foam.


6. Purchase products from legal channels

It is recommended that consumers purchase children's cosmetics through legal channels and can check whether the label information of the purchased cosmetics is consistent with their product registration or filing information by logging into the official website of the National Medical Products Administration or the cosmetics supervision APP. If it is not consistent, the product quality is questionable.

Consumers should properly store products and check if they are within their expiration date.
