Every mama out there can agree that the well-being of their precious one is their main priority. And as they journey through parenthood, it must be acknowledged that this is accompanied by a lot of important decisions to make to further strengthen their love and care for their baby. This includes choosing the best products for their little bundle of joy! 
It is indeed very crucial to choose the right baby essentials during these times, mostly on hygiene products as these are what’s used on a daily basis. There’s a wide variety of options waiting for you on the market, but it's best for mamas to understand first the significance and composition of these items prior to using it on their baby.

Getting to Know Your Baby Hygiene Products

What are baby hygiene products?
Hygiene products encompass a wide range of indispensable items made to be used in your baby’s daily care routine. These are products that promote cleanliness and proper hygiene for babies. For their case, some items are diapers, baby wipes, cotton buds, cotton balls, and the like. 
Why is it important to know about the ingredients of such products? 
The main reason why every parent out there needs to know about the ingredients of the daily essentials of their little one is because some of these can cause irritation to the skin and also it may lead to other allergic reactions or issues to their baby’s body. Most especially for infants, who have very delicate and sensitive skin. It is important to fully know the product prior to using it to ensure the safety and overall well-being of your baby.
What are the usual ingredients in your baby hygiene products that you should avoid? 
Given that harmful ingredients are present in some products, the best way to avoid such is to stay informed on what these are. Here are some of the ingredients that you should keep an eye on as you purchase your baby essentials (Meissner, 2020):
Fragrances
While we love to have our babies smell amazing, fragrances or amyl cinnamal can cause allergic reactions like rashes. There are a lot of baby products that have this certain ingredient. Typically included in soaps and moisturizers, it’s advised to mamas to check on the labels if they have the following words: perfume, essential oil blend, aroma.
Parabens
You may have heard of parabens already, and they are also common in “wash off” items like soaps and shampoos. This certain ingredient is a common source of skin irritation and is easily absorbed in the skin which is why your little ones should not use products containing this. 
Formaldehyde
This ingredient is present in different cosmetic products, and even baby essentials like baby soaps and baby wipes. While it is used to prevent the presence of bacteria, it may still cause skin irritation and allergic reaction. 
Having these ingredients in your baby essentials may badly affect your little one’s comfort. Make sure to have an eye for these ones to keep your baby safe and at ease! While there are items with such components, here in edamama, we’d like to introduce you to a product line that offers high quality ingredients and is gently made for you.
