*Review of the best according to the editors of expertology.ru. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective in nature, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before purchasing, consultation with a specialist is required.

A newborn baby requires special care and careful care. The correct choice of household chemicals and hygiene products guarantees the protection of a fragile body and the preservation of its health for many years. Doctors recommend using special washing powders for children from the first day of life. Conventional products contain components that are harmful to baby's skin. As a result, he may experience allergic rashes, decreased immunity, and metabolic disorders.

To avoid this, Expertology experts have compiled a rating of the best baby powders, based on the opinions of dermatologists and reviews of mothers. So, let's figure out what substances should not be in baby powder at all.

1. Phosphates. Reduce immunity and protective functions of the body.
2. Chlorine. Causes severe allergic reactions, a very toxic substance.
3. Optical brightener. Unlike oxygen, it does not rinse well and causes unpleasant rashes and redness.
4. Surfactants (surfactants). Exceeding the maximum permissible norm can cause various diseases and developmental delays.
5. Fragrances. Their pungent odor also negatively affects the baby's health.

The most optimal are washing powders based on soap and plant extracts. They do not have a negative effect on the baby's delicate skin. Many natural substances included in the composition have anti-inflammatory, wound-healing and bactericidal properties.

Features of the best washing powder for washing baby clothes

The components of children's detergents are basically no different from standard “adult” ones. However, there are several signs that will allow you to choose a powder with hypoallergenic properties.

What to pay attention to

When purchasing, you should be patient and carefully study the fine print on the back of the package.

1. The basis of any washing powder is surfactants (surfactants). They are responsible for fighting stains and dirt. But upon contact with delicate skin, they can cause irritation, itching and some allergic reactions, so their content in baby detergents should not exceed 5%. If the composition contains a soap base, then in this case the risk of allergies is reduced significantly.
2. Salts of orthophosphoric acids (phosphates) have a softening effect on water and are capable of activating surfactants. But it is extremely undesirable to see them in children's powders. They help reduce the child’s skin immunity. Abroad, this component has already been completely excluded from the composition of laundry detergents, but some domestic manufacturers still do not neglect it.
3. So-called optical brighteners are often added to detergents - these are synthetic substances that do not actually whiten laundry, but create the illusion of cleanliness due to a luminescent dye. Artificial particles settle on things and come into close contact with the baby’s skin. In children's powders they are replaced with active oxygen, hydrogen peroxide-based bleaches, and sodium carbonate (the familiar soda ash). These components are completely washed out when rinsing clothes and are not dangerous for babies.
4. As for fragrances that add additional aroma, products containing them are not suitable for washing children's clothes. They should smell neutral. Fragrances negatively affect the respiratory system, and the younger the child, the more harm fragrances cause.
5. Enzymes are components of protein origin that can cope with organic-based contaminants. They are completely natural and do not harm the sensitive skin of infants.

Enzymes only work at low temperatures (up to 40 degrees), so carefully monitor the washing machine settings.

On the packaging of any detergent intended for a child’s clothes, there should be “0+”, “Recommended from the first days of life.” This will be an indirect sign that the composition will meet the requirements for the amount of surfactants and the absence of artificial colors and flavors.

Overview of laundry products

Such items must not be washed with ordinary detergents. They contain many aggressive components that can penetrate the imperfect protective barrier of children's skin, provoking an allergic reaction in the form of redness, itching, and rashes. In addition, they contain volatile substances, which, with constant contact with the respiratory tract, can lead to the development of respiratory allergies, weakening of local immunity and other unpleasant and sometimes very dangerous consequences.

What is the best way to wash clothes and diapers for newborns? It is recommended to do this with special powders, gels and soaps. The main thing is to choose the safest remedy.

Baby washing powder Amway: description

Also a German manufacturer of powder, which has found many fans. When compared with other, for example, domestic powders, the composition certainly wins.

• Non-ionic surfactants are also used, which are within the permissible limits and are harmless. But their number is very inaccurately indicated. The range is too wide.
• I use oxygen bleach, which is a big plus for baby powder.
• No phosphates! This is the main advantage of such a powder.
• The only thing is that it is still better not to use optical brighteners and fragrances. Although in German production synthetic substances should not be used. But specifically which ones are involved is not indicated.
• In general, compared to other powders, the composition is very good. The effectiveness of the powder is confirmed by many young mothers. Yes, it can and can handle some stains. But the high price fully corresponds to the quality and results.

Pigeon children's washing powder: description

A Japanese-made powder whose composition is surprising. In the pleasant sense of the word. I want to find fault with something, but either natural ingredients or harmless substances are used.

• The absence of surfactants and phosphates is the main advantage of this product. They are not listed in their composition, and when washed, the powder foams very little. Which is natural proof of this.
• The main component is soda (as it is popularly called). Its cleaning and disinfecting properties have been known since time immemorial.
• You can talk for a long time about all the advantages of such a powder. In general, the price, although slightly higher than conventional washing powders, is fully justified by its composition and results.
• The only thing is that it contains flavoring and coloring. Although the powder has absolutely no odor. Maybe it's just in minimal quantities. It was already possible to do without it, especially without colored granules (as you know, they serve only for volume).
• By the way, there is not a single Russian word on the packaging. To help you understand its composition and use, a special sticker with instructions is used. To some extent, this is confirmation that the powder is actually made in Japan and you can be confident in its quality.

Japanese powders for washing children's clothes: description

We have already discussed one Japanese-made powder above. But there are other companies that deserve special attention.

Washing powder KAO “Attack” Bio EX Japonica:

• It also comes without phosphates and chlorine, and surfactants are used in minimal quantities. And it contains nonionic surfactants.
• The only thing is that it contains fragrance and optical brightener. Since we have already figured out their effect on the child’s body, it is advisable to exclude their presence. Although, when compared with our usual powders, even this nuance is a plus.
• The powder contains small colored fillers. It's not scary, but they are needed only for volume. Therefore, there is no need to blindly believe advertising.
• This product copes wonderfully with stains and dirt of varying degrees. Even after the first wash, things become whiter and more pleasant to the touch. True, if you take a kitchen towel for the experiment, it will not be able to handle all the stains. But their number will be significantly reduced and they will become less noticeable.

Detergents from Japan
Another well-known brand of Japanese powder is Lion:

• Well, there are no phosphates and chlorine - that's a plus. Using oxygen bleach is also good.
• But it contains anionic surfactants. Yes, the cost of such a powder will be lower. But it will not have the best effect on the baby’s skin. Even in minimal quantities.
• The powder has a slight odor; there are small color additives that do not significantly affect the overall performance.
• In general, it copes well with stains, and things will be pleasant after washing. And such a remedy can be considered an economical option.

Budget powder "SAMA Baby":

• It washes well and retains the color quite well. But it only fights light stains.
• The advantage will be the price, it is more than affordable. But the previous paragraph shows how price can affect the result.
• And the main disadvantage is the composition. Surfactants are used within acceptable limits, but this does not improve the effect on the child’s body.
• Also contains fragrance, preservative and optical brighteners. We have already figured out that there should not be any of them in baby powder (ideally).

Sodasan

This is another product from a German manufacturer that does not contain phosphates and surfactants. The powder is based on plant-based soap and safe additives, which allows it to be used when washing baby clothes.

The advantages are as follows:

Cons: high cost.

Prices: 752 – 1005 rub.

Burti

This powder is produced in Germany; the excellent quality of this country’s products is known all over the world. Products intended for washing wardrobe items are no exception. Baby powder from BURNUS GmbH, founded more than 180 years ago, has many significant advantages:

The world of childhood

In the production of the product, baby soap is used. Therefore, on the packaging you can see the inscription - soap powder.

It contains no synthetic flavors, dyes or other substances, including phosphates.

The advantages of the product are as follows:

• the cost is affordable for most consumers;

Tide for sensitive skin (automatic) has long established itself as one of the best laundry detergents and is in great demand among parents of children of different ages. The packaging says "Children's". However, some babies under one year old with particularly sensitive skin may cause unwanted reactions due to the presence of fragrances that give the laundry a pleasant light aroma. The manufacturer clarified that the additive is delicate, but it is still better to use the powder for washing clothes of children over three years old.

The composition contains enzymes, so it is better to wash at a temperature of no more than 40 degrees to remove stains of organic origin.

pros

• many positive reviews;
• the formula contains enzymes and bleach;
• removes any dirt well;
• •recommended for fabrics of both natural and synthetic origin;

What to do if soap or powder is not suitable?

If nothing else fits, there are 3 surefire ways:

1. Homemade version of the powder.
2. Make your own soap.
3. Buy from a manufacturer of natural products.

A little more detail about all the methods.

Powder. Recipe.

Ingredients:

• Borax (dry powder) – 200g;
• Household soap – 200g;
• Baking soda – 500g;
• Peroxide (for white) – 2 tbsp;
• Salt (for colored) – 2 tbsp.

Borax is used as a cleaning and bleaching agent, softens water, reduces washing time and temperature, and also prevents corrosion of metal parts of washing machines. By the way, it is also used as a food preservative. But I wouldn’t recommend food products with it. But for washing it is possible.

Manufacturing:

• Grate the soap.
• Mix all ingredients. You can do this in a food processor.
• Divide into jars and close tightly.

Criterias of choice

How not to make a mistake when choosing powder for newborns? What aspects in product descriptions should you pay special attention to? It should be borne in mind that such products are the brainchild of the chemical industry, so one way or another, an allergic reaction may occur even if the product does not contain any dangerous additives. Substances that contain a minimum amount of aggressive substances are considered hypoallergenic or safe. What components can cause a rash or other allergic reaction? The main names are shown in the comparative table:

In addition to standard recommendations from Rospotrebnadzor, you should pay attention to numerous reviews on the Internet. Almost any powder can cope with the indicated functions, however, the price for such success may vary. According to buyers, it is better to wash not only children’s clothes, but also adults’ clothes with baby powders. Do not forget that children spend a lot of time outside their crib in the arms or parent's bed.

What powder is best for washing clothes for newborns?

By choosing the right baby washing powder, you can be 100% confident in the reliable protection of your baby’s delicate and sensitive skin from birth. To summarize all the information presented in the article, let's make a summary:

1. Despite the small print, we carefully study the composition of the detergent. It should not contain phosphates, optical brighteners, chlorine, dyes or fragrances. It’s great if the powder is based on natural soap shavings.
2. The packaging must be marked “hypoallergenic”. This guarantees that irritation and itching will not appear on the baby’s skin.
3. If you choose powder for a newborn, then the packaging should have the designation “0+”: this means it is suitable for washing clothes from the first days of life.
4. It is important to pay attention to the type of washing: machine or hand. Choose depending on the option that suits you.
5. If you have pets in the house, then it is better to opt for options with a disinfecting effect. They will be able to remove not only stains on clothes, but also get rid of viruses, fungi and bacteria.

What does Dr. O.E. think about washing children's clothes? Komarovsky:

How to properly wash things by hand?

Washing children's clothes manually consists of the following steps:

1. Dilute detergent in water. Whatever the water temperature, it should be the maximum permissible for the fabric from which the soiled items are sewn.
2. Soak the soiled item in a soapy solution, from which food debris and feces have previously been removed. After removing organic waste, it is advisable to immerse the item in a weakly concentrated solution of potassium permanganate for a few seconds. If there is heavy contamination, it is recommended to treat the stains with hydrogen peroxide.
3. After 30–60 minutes, scrub the laundry vigorously, paying special attention to the soiled areas.
4. Rinse clothes thoroughly. It is recommended to change the water at least 3 times, gradually lowering its temperature.

At what temperature should I wash?

Natural cotton fabrics can be washed at temperatures up to 90 degrees. This is the optimal mode for white items made of thick material. Colored undershirts and rompers will become discolored during high-grade processing. For such fabrics, a mode at 40 degrees is suitable. Delicate materials such as silk and wool are best processed at 30 degrees to prevent fabric shrinkage.

What mode should I wash on?

The clothing manufacturer leaves care instructions on the tag. Pay attention to the temperature conditions indicated there. The label also indicates whether a spin can be used.

Most machines are equipped with a “Hypoallergenic wash” mode. Use it to clean baby items. If this mode is not provided by the model, use an additional rinse. This will remove any remaining powder completely.

Which soap is suitable for babies

Pediatricians do not recommend using hard soap for bathing newborns. It greatly dries out the upper layer of the epidermis, and the skin will need to be moisturized even more. Over time, it can be introduced as a hand wash.

It is important to notice the baby’s reaction to the new soap in time. If after the first use he begins to itch or simply behave inexplicably restless, it is better to stop using and find another one.

In the first months, it is better to give preference to liquid or cream soap. It is important that it effectively kills germs, but does not cause allergic reactions. The following plant extracts are welcome:

• chamomile;
• series;
• celandine;
• aloe;
• plantain;
• avocado.

Although glycerin is generally an undesirable element in baby products, soap is an exception to the rule. This substance is acceptable in it: it does not cause harm, softens the skin and protects against chapping.

Hygiene products for newborns

The arrival of a child in the family is accompanied by an expansion of the list of necessary purchases. Mom will have to wash him often, wash his clothes, and take care of his skin. The baby needs funds for:

• washing - soap, shampoo, bubble bath, soap or intimate hygiene gel;
• skin care – body cream, diaper cream, oil, powder, wet wipes;
• washing clothes - powder, conditioner.

Products must be suitable for sensitive children's skin and be hypoallergenic. Adults, when choosing cosmetics and household chemicals for themselves, pay increased attention to aesthetics (fragrances, additional effects). When it comes to a product for a newborn, the main factor should be the composition. We will tell you about the components that are useful and safe for babies, and those that are best to beware of.

How to moisturize baby skin

One of the common problems that arise in the first months of life is dry skin. Moisturizer for children differs from that for adults:

• hypoallergenic;
• neutral pH level;
• higher fat content;
• lack of alcohol in the composition.

Beta-carotene relieves dryness and flaking well. Regeneration is promoted by vitamin A. If the child is allergic, it is important that the product does not cause reactions. Hypoallergenic creams often contain yarrow. Chamomile and viburnum are suitable to soothe irritation. Thyme protects against germs.

Moisturizing the skin is also possible with the help of lotions and body milk. Water based is more suitable for summer. The main thing when choosing is to make sure there are no alcohols or other harmful chemical compounds.
