When choosing a baby skin cleanser, the most important point is to select a product that protects your baby's delicate skin barrier and is suitable for pH balance. In the newborn period, lukewarm water alone is often enough; if a cleanser is used, pay attention to these features:

  • Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, colorant-free formulas are preferred.
  • Products with a pH around 5.5 (close to the skin's natural acidic balance) are recommended.
  • Liquid cleansers (rather than soap) or cleansing lotions are gentler on baby skin.
  • Baby oil or petroleum-based cleansers can be a good option, especially for diaper rash and dryness.

Each baby's skin can react differently; when trying a new product, it's a good habit to test it on a small area of your baby's inner arm first and wait 24 hours. If you notice redness, dryness, or irritation, I recommend stopping the product and consulting your pediatrician.
