Sebamed Baby Products Review

Sebamed Baby Cream is a hugely popular baby skincare brand and the wide range of Sebamed baby products, specifically formulated for a babies’ delicate skin have recently become part of our bath time routine. When you talk to other women about their babies, one of the first things they say is usually something to do with the smell of their hair and their soft delicate skin, with an ooh or an ahhh thrown in for good measure!

We recently made bath time an important part of our bedtime routine, with the hope of getting a good night’s sleep. Our baby’s skin is so delicate and precious, that finding the right baby lotions and potions for them is an important part of the care you give as a Mother. I have spent longer picking out a body wash for my baby than I did picking out all of the toiletries for my partner and I. I wanted to make sure bathtime was safe.

At first I used products I had heard of and that had been around and tried and tested for years, one being baby oil. I couldn’t believe it when my son (then just a few weeks old) came out in a prickly rash all over his legs after supposedly ‘locking in moisture’ after his bath. From then on I became very cautious about any skincare products he would come into contact with.

As an RMR network blogger, I was asked to carry out a Sebamed Baby Products Review with my son. At first I was a little hesitant to change the skin care products I knew were safe for him, but on receiving the range I instantly got the message loud and clear that it would be safe for him. It states on all the Sebamed Baby packaging (including the Baby Sebamed Shampoo and the Sebamed diaper rash cream) that these products are made ‘for delicate skin’ and ‘ideal for ph 5.5 healthy skin’. I first tested the products on my own skin, and felt they was extremely mild and safe, so continued to try it during my little boys bath time/ daily cleaning routine.

The products:

• Sebamed Baby Wash – a tear free formula, the baby wash provides protection from irritation and is 100% soap and alkali free for daily use. It is even recommended for certain types of eczema.
• Sebamed Children’s Shampoo – offering extra mild cleansing of hair and scalp, naturally moisturising to prevent dryness.
• Sebamed Baby Cream / Sebamed Baby Lotion – supports the skins natural balance, camomile soothes irritation, and makes the skin soft and smooth.
• Sebamed Baby Bubble Bath – extra mild cleansing formula, with natural moisturising agents to protect against dryness.
• Sedbamed Diaper Rash Cream – offering rapid relief, effective and soothing, and contains panthenol to stimulate the healing process.

The packaging of Sebamed products, specifically the Sebamed Baby range is very appealing and there is no mistaking this is a baby product, with it’s white box and pastel pink and blue logo. The box itself has very informative details of the product, ingredients and clear directions for use. It goes one more step to take it from a general baby toiletry to that of something that is medicated and has been formulated with a sole purpose of being mild, gentle, and help balance restore and repair delicate skin. Each product also has a leaflet inside explaining more about the company as well as more details regarding ph balance and the full product range.

Where can I buy Sebamed products online?

The products can be bought online at Sebamed or are available from independent pharmacies. Prices range from £2.95-£4.59.

Our experience in the Sebamed Baby Products Review 

First we started with the Sebamed bubble bath – my baby loves bubbles. The directions state to use sparingly so put a couple of drops as stated. As we no longer use a baby bath support and have a couple of inches of water in the family bath I immediately saw the need for more squirts of liquid instead of drops.

There weren’t many bubbles even after frothing the water to encourage more.

My little boy splashes around and gets so excited in the bath so I can definitely say that the Sebamed Bubble bath is definitely a no tear formula. He didn’t mind the taste either, as some went in his mouth whilst he was chewing on his rubber duck! In two weeks of using the bubble bath our 200ml bottle is nearly empty but we would definitely use again.

The Baby Sebamed Shampoo lathered up beautifully on my sons hair, and left it soft to touch and clean smelling when dry. It was a good consistency to rub into his hair, not too thick, or too runny like some other products we have used. As tends to be inevitable, the product went into his eyes as we washed it off, but there was no irritation or signs of discomfort from him what so ever.

The Sebamed baby wash was also a good consistency and wasn’t too runny, it lathered up nicely when a good amount was applied and again it was definitely no tears. There is hardly any fragrance, but then this is what you would want from a medicated non irritable wash. In my novice opinion I’m sure all the fragrances and additives are some of the elements that may lead to irritation, particularly for babies with sensitive skin.

The Sebamed baby cream lotion is lovely, again hardly any fragrance but it’s very light on the skin. It sinks in well and doesn’t create a greasy texture on the skin but leaves the skin nice silky and supple.

We didn’t get to use the diaper rash cream to treat nappy rash, lucky for my boy but not so much for this review. The baby cream from Semabed however is a nice consistency and application is easy. It does sink into the skin easily too.

Pros

• Reassurance on the box, bottle and leaflet that the Sebamed products are safe and mild enough for the most delicate skin
• Aesthetically appealing packaging
• Bottles are easy to open and dispense product
• Suitable from birth, and for moms too.
• Non irritant, and no tears even when got into babies eyes.

Cons

• Little to no fragrance, but then again this is what you would expect from a medicated product
• Generally more product is required than is stated. It doesn’t go very far.
• More expensive than other products on the market, particularly as they normally benefit from Mother & Baby events. However, you are paying for quality, and I personally would be prepared to pay extra to ensure my baby’s skin was protected.
