Baby Wash: buyer FAQ
Product-specific starting points for the first brief. Final answers depend on the selected formula, pack and destination market.
What is a head-to-toe wash?
A single mild cleanser for baby hair and body. It simplifies bath time and is the most common first product for baby brands.
Can I claim ‘tear-free’?
Only with supporting evidence, such as an eye-irritation test done by a lab. Without evidence, use ‘gentle’ or ‘mild’ wording.
Which surfactants are used?
Mild amphoteric and glucoside surfactants are common, as they clean well with low irritation.
Can it be fragrance-free?
Yes. Many brands offer a fragrance-free version alongside a lightly scented one.
What pack is best?
Pump bottles let parents dispense with one hand. Flip caps cost less and suit smaller sizes.
What do you need from me?
Your market, scent choice, size, any ingredient restrictions and the claims you want to make.
Continue within the same manufacturing cluster.
