Why Kids Need Their Own Bath & Hair Products

Have you ever gone to the store to pick up bath products for your child and been at a loss for what to buy? They’re too grown up for baby shampoo, but you may be wondering if they’re really ready for adult products. You’re right to question what bath products are best for your growing, yet delicate, kids.

Are Kids Bath & Hair Products Better Than Ones Made for Adults?

Products for kids are designed to be both safe and effective for their developing hair and skin. Adult bath products are not specifically formulated to be gentle for kids. They may contain ingredients that are harsh and may have an over-drying effect on kids’ skin and hair. The scents used in these ingredients may also be overpowering for kids.

Kids’ hair and skin are still developing compared to adults’ hair and skin. Kids’ skin is more delicate than adults’ skin and loses up to 33% more water compared to adult skin, so it must be handled with care. Meanwhile, hair strands are 3X thicker and 4X longer than before – bringing bigger tangles, changing textures, and hair that’s harder to manage. Clearly, kids need bath products that are more effective at cleaning than baby products, but more gentle than adult products.

Aveeno® Kids products can clean and nourish their sensitive, changing skin and hair without disrupting the moisture barrier. Our products are informed by a scientific understanding of kids’ developing skin and hair, with products that prepare growing kids for their widening world. We use high quality, naturally derived* oats and carefully harvest their moisturizing and soothing properties.
