Gentle from the Start: Why Harsh Chemicals Have No Place in Baby Skincare

As parents, we read labels, research products, and take extra steps to protect our children. But when it comes to skincare, many baby products on the market still contain harsh chemicals that can do more harm than good.

At Bubby Wubby, we believe baby skincare should be just as pure and safe as the love you wrap your child in every day. That’s why we created our products using only clean, gentle ingredients—because your baby’s skin deserves nothing less.

Baby Skin Is Different—and More Vulnerable

Newborn and toddler skin is up to 30% thinner than adult skin. That means it absorbs more and loses moisture faster. It also means that whatever you put on their skin goes deeper and has a stronger effect—whether it’s helpful or harmful.

Using products with harsh chemicals like parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, or certain alcohols can lead to:

• Dryness or flaking
• Rashes or redness
• Allergic reactions
• Disruption of the skin’s natural barrier

In some cases, repeated exposure to certain ingredients can even trigger long-term sensitivities or eczema flare-ups.

The Problem with Harsh Ingredients

Many conventional baby products are loaded with chemicals that might seem harmless but aren’t ideal for young, developing skin:

🚫 Parabens – Often used as preservatives, parabens can disrupt hormone function and irritate sensitive skin.
🚫 Sulfates – These foaming agents can strip away natural oils and dry out the skin.
🚫 Phthalates – Commonly found in synthetic fragrances and plastics, phthalates have been linked to hormone disruption and skin sensitivities.
🚫 Synthetic Fragrances – Often a cocktail of unknown chemicals, fragrances are one of the most common causes of irritation.
🚫 Alcohols – Some types of alcohol can be too harsh and drying for delicate baby skin.
