  • Baby Shampoos are products that are intended to be used to cleanse the hair of infants and children under the age of three. These products are specially formulated to be non-irritating and mild to the eyes. Often, these products contain non-ionic ingredients which tend to be milder than ionic ingredients which carry a slight negative charge. Adults that have sensitive hair or that are very sensitive to ordinary products may also use Baby Shampoos. Manufacturers conduct extensive safety tests to ensure that these products are safe for use on young children. All products should be used only under close adult supervision. It is very important to read and follow the directions for use that are on the product. Any consumer having questions about the use of the product should call the number provided on the label of the product.
