Kodomo Baby Soap New Born 75gm Gentle Baby Cleansing Soap Soft Moisturizing Skin Care for Newborns

Product Overview

Kodomo Baby Soap is a 75gm mild cleansing bar made for newborn skin, from the Thai baby care range. It removes the day’s dirt without the harshness of an ordinary soap.

Bars have a practical advantage at bath time that liquid washes do not: there is nothing to knock over and nothing to squeeze one-handed while the other hand supports a baby. The trade-off is storage — a bar left sitting in water goes soft and gets through far faster.

Why Baby Skin Needs Different Products

A newborn’s skin is around thinner than an adult’s and its barrier is still developing, so it loses water faster and absorbs more of whatever is applied to it. That is the practical reason to prefer a short ingredient list and a mild formula on an infant — not because gentle sounds nicer, but because more of the product gets through.

Babies also do not need bathing every day. Two or three baths a week with topping and tailing in between is enough for most infants in the first months, and over-washing is a common cause of dryness.

How to Use

1. Wet the baby with water at around 37°C.
2. Lather the bar in your own hands, then wash the baby with your hands rather than rubbing the bar on the skin.
3. Rinse thoroughly, especially the neck, armpits and groin creases.
4. Pat dry and check the folds are properly dry.
5. Store the bar on a drained dish out of standing water.

Bath Safety

• Never leave a baby alone in the bath, not even for a second. An infant can drown in a few centimetres of water and it happens silently. If you must answer the door or the phone, take the baby with you.
• Run cold water first, then add hot, and test the temperature with your elbow or wrist — around 37°C. Hands are poor thermometers.
• Keep one hand supporting the baby at all times.
• Wet bathroom floors and soapy babies are slippery. Have the towel within reach before you start.
• Bath seats and rings are not safety devices. They tip.

Patch Test First

Before using any new product on a baby, apply a small amount to a patch of skin on the inner arm and leave it for 24 hours. Redness, bumps, or the baby scratching at the area means stop.

Introduce one new product at a time. If three are started together and the skin reacts, there is no way to know which caused it. Check with your doctor before using anything new on a baby with eczema or broken skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the bar touch the baby directly?

Lather it in your hands first and wash with your hands. It gives you far more control over how much soap actually reaches the skin.

How long does a bar last?

Weeks, if it is kept out of standing water between baths.

What age is it suitable for?

Where the manufacturer states an age range it is given in the specifications above. If none is stated, take a paediatrician’s advice for a newborn rather than assuming.

Can I use it on sensitive or eczema-prone skin?

Patch test first, and ask your doctor before using anything new on a baby who has eczema or broken skin. A product being marketed as gentle is not the same as it being right for a diagnosed skin condition.
