A child's skin is thinner than an adult's and loses moisture faster, and their eyes are far more sensitive to detergents. That is the whole reason this category exists — an adult shampoo on a four-year-old is harsh, drying, and if it stings it guarantees a fight at every bath time.
What to look for:
For the first months, less is more. A single mild cleanser used sparingly beats a full routine. Kodomo's New Born soap with natural moisturiser is formulated for this stage; the Original with Moisturizer suits older babies and toddlers.
The character bottle is not a gimmick — for a child who resists bathing, choosing between Minnie Mouse and Star Wars turns a battle into a decision they own. Lorenay's 475ml range covers Disney Cars, Minnie Mouse, My Little Pony, Star Wars and The Incredibles, all at Rs 799.
Keep the water warm rather than hot, keep the bath short, and moisturise within a few minutes of towelling dry while the skin still holds water.
Lorenay 2-in-1 bath and shampoo in five characters, and Kodomo baby soap and hair & body wash. Everything here is original stock.
