Ensuring Baby's Safety: Can I Use Regular Dish Soap on Baby Bottles?

Are you a new parent? Or a parent who wants to make sure their baby is using non-toxic, natural ingredients? Many new parents wonder what the best way is, to clean their baby bottles, baby pacifiers, or even baby toys. In this blog we will discuss how important choosing soap is to wash your baby supplies, while protecting your baby from harmful chemicals and ingredients. 

Is Baby Dish Soap Necessary?

Regular dish soap is great for removing dirt and grease from dishes, cars, glass, or other tough areas. However, baby soap offers specific benefits for infants, as it’s a much more gentle soap with less harsh ingredients. Baby soaps do not irritate the baby skin, as would a regular dish soap might. Also, baby soap has careful ingredients, to not cause allergic reactions. Cleaning baby bottles, pacifers, and baby toys with a natural ingredient soap is the best way to make sure your infant is free from harsh chemicals and fragrances.

While regular baby shampoos and lotions may be effective, using using shampoos specifically designed for infants, will ensure parents that they're using products that prioritize their baby's health and well-being.

Organic baby oils, enriched with nutrient-rich plant oils such as almond, jojoba, or coconut oil, provide optimal hydration and nourishment to baby's delicate skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and supple.
