The ingredients to ban cosmetics for children

Today, as a parent, it is difficult to choose cosmetics good for our children because the lists of ingredients are endless and incomprehensible. In this article, Monjour gives you the list of ingredients to banish in Care products To apply to the skin of your toddlers.

Solar filters: watch out for organic and mineral filters

Classic organic solar filters are to be avoided because of their toxicity; Many of them are suspected of being endocrine disruptors (octocrylene, oxybenzene ...).

Regarding mineral filters, the latter are better tolerated by children's skin if they are not in the form of nanoparticles (recognizable by the term "(nano)" in the list of ingredients). If the mention nano is figure, we advise you not to apply this cream to the skin your child because the particles are so thin that they can deeply penetrate into the layers of the skin.

Perfumes

Two constraints oppose the choices of perfume in baby care:

• Babies have a Sensitive and fragile skin Likely to create allergic reactions in contact with chemicals such as scents with alcohol.

• It is necessary to pay attention to Odors too strong Along with baby, whose nose is in full development.

However, baby and perfume are not incompatible. A type of perfume corresponds to baby, these are Scent waters. These fragrances are alcoholless, which is replaced by another solvent respecting baby's skin. Some ingredients are used to create the scent but the latter are subject to a strict regulation. The majority of them are synthetic Because natural odorous raw materials are often the cause of intolerance or allergic reactions.

In Monjour solar products, the fragrance used is alcohol -free and respects Ifra standards*. Its concentration is very low, which ensures its skin tolerance while offering a light, fresh and sunny odor.

*IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards, prohibit, limit and set the criteria of the ingredients that can be integrated into perfumes to ensure that they are not harmful to health and the environment.
