"Baby" branding on a product is not a safety standard. Nothing in U.S. cosmetics law requires baby products to meet a different or stricter ingredient standard than adult products.

The word "gentle" has no legal definition.

The same regulatory vacuum that applies to adult skincare applies to what you put on a newborn.

would you recommend plain unscented tallow soap if showings with it every day? do you think scents, even ones using essential oils can disrupt that?

Your skin's acid mantle, the slightly acidic film that protects against bacteria and maintains barrier integrity, sits at roughly pH 4.5 to 5.5. Many conventional cleansers have a pH of 9 to 11.

Every wash disrupts that balance.

if washing daily with tallow soap only, does it disturb it far less? or maybe just water alone is better
