The best baby powder
Means for washing children's things are dividedon: · without phosphate and not having a surfactant (they act aggressively on the body) · containing these components, but in a reduced amount. The first group includes powders based on vegetable and potassium components. Most often on the packaging of such products are listed soap powder, soda, soap nuts, essential oils. Phosphates in such agents are replaced by zeolites, which do not have a negative effect. Such powders are Our mother, Baby Sitter, Sodasan, Sonett. All these powders can be safely applied for washing things of allergic and newly born babies. The second group is represented by means, which should contain no more than 15% of surfactants and phosphates. Better if instead of anionic surfactants they will be non-ionic. Such powders are Aistenok, Ushany nanny, Kurnosiki, as well as all detergents for adults, indicating "Children's" (Myth, Pemos, Tide). But these powders can not be used for washing newborn babies' clothes. It is better to use such detergents from the age of 3-5 years of the child, since some of the powders have an increased level of toxicity. And for better rinsing of chemical components from tissues it is better to carry out additional manual rinsing of children's things.
What powder to choose for a newborn
For newborn children it is better to chooseas much as possible sparing household chemistry on the basis of soap shavings and without petrochemical components. Of course, such products do not have bleaching agents, but the health of the newborn is much more important than the radiant whiteness of the clothes. Many mothers prefer to erase the things of babies with powders of the World of Childhood and Our Mother. The first product does not have fragrances, colorants and synthetic substances, it perfectly disinfects and copes well with complex spots. The second powder also disinfects the linen remarkably and does not include in the composition of harmful "chemistry" Choosing powder for the child with the mind means giving preference to the means that do not contain harmful chemicals.
