The best baby powder
Detergents for children's clothesare divided into: phosphate-free and do not contain surfactants (they have an aggressive effect on the body); containing these components, but in reduced quantities. The first group includes powders made from plant and potassium components. Most often, the packaging of such products lists soap powder, soda, soap nuts, essential oils. Phosphates in such products are replaced by zeolites, which do not have a negative effect. Such powders are Nasha Mama, Baby Sitter, Sodasan, Sonett. All these powders can be safely used for washing clothes of allergic and recently born babies. The second group is represented by products that should contain no more than 15% surfactants and phosphates. It is better if they contain non-ionic surfactants instead of anionic ones. Such powders are Aistenok, Ushasty Nyan, Kurноски, as well as all detergents for adults with the indication "Children's" (Myth, Pemos, Tide). But these powders cannot be used for washing clothes of newborn children. It is better to use such detergents from the age of 3-5 years, since some of the powders have an increased level of toxicity. And for better rinsing of chemical components from fabrics, it is better to carry out additional manual rinsing of children's clothes.
What powder to choose for a newborn
For newborns it is better to choosethe most gentle household chemicals based on soap shavings and without petrochemical components. Of course, such products do not contain bleaching agents, but the health of a newborn is much more important than the shining whiteness of clothes. Many mothers prefer to wash their babies' clothes with Mir Detstva and Nasha Mama powders. The first product does not contain fragrances, dyes or synthetic substances, it disinfects perfectly and copes well with difficult stains. The second powder also disinfects linen remarkably well and does not include harmful "chemistry" in its composition. Choosing a powder for a child wisely means giving preference to products that do not contain harmful chemicals. This is very important for preventing the development of allergic reactions in the baby. Read on:
