Sebamed Baby Gentle Wash with Allantoin, 200ml

Sebamed Baby Gentle Wash is built around the brand's defining feature, a pH of 5.5. That number is the point of the whole Sebamed range. Skin sits at around pH 5.5 naturally, and ordinary soap is alkaline at pH 9 or 10, which disrupts the acid mantle that protects it. A baby's acid mantle is still developing, so the difference matters more in the first months than at any other time of life.

Benefits

• pH 5.5 matches the skin's own acid mantle rather than working against it, which is the entire basis of the Sebamed range
• Soap-free, so there is none of the tightness and dryness that ordinary soap leaves on a baby's skin
• Allantoin is a long-standing soothing ingredient, common in products for delicate or easily irritated skin
• Works for body and hair, which keeps bath time short
• A frequent recommendation for babies with dry or reactive skin, where a standard baby wash proves too much

How to Use

• Apply a small amount with your hand or a soft cloth, or add to the bath water
• Wash the body and hair, taking care around the eyes
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water
• Pat dry, paying attention to skin folds
• Apply a moisturiser while the skin is still slightly damp
• Keep baths short and warm rather than hot. For external use only
