Ranking of emollients for children - best emollients for children 2024

The skin of newborns and babies is very delicate and sensitive. It therefore requires special care and the use of suitable cosmetics. Emollients for babies are extremely helpful in the daily care of their skin. Their main task is to protect the hydrolipid mantle, which is the skin's natural protective barrier. Both emollients for children and emollients for adults are intensely moisturising, lubricating and regenerating preparations and are recommended for skin with special needs. Children 's emollients should contain no fragrances, foaming agents, artificial colours or preservatives. They should be safe for the still immature skin of a toddler. Baby emollients are also recommended for atopic, irritated and allergy-prone skin, as they soothe itching and inflammation. Baby emollients include not only oils and lotions, but also bath cosmetics such as gels, foams and shampoos. However, it is important to ensure that baby bath emollients do not contain alcohol and soap or soap derivatives - otherwise they can dry out the baby's skin. In the ranking below, you will find what we consider to be the five best emollients for babies.

According to our testers, Lili&Mu baby and child oil is indispensable for the daily care of the delicate and sensitive skin of babies 👶 from the very first days of life. Above all, it is distinguished by its natural, safe composition and, in addition, it provides the skin with essential ingredients and surrounds it with a protective layer ☂️. The testers admitted that the oil also works well as a cosmetic to combat dandruff 👏. The composition of Lili&Mu's olive contains natural oils (sunflower, jojoba, raspberry seed, babassu nut), which lubricate, moisturise, soften and smooth the skin and prevent moisture loss from the epidermis 😍. The formula also contains calendula flower extract with antiseptic and irritation-soothing properties, arnica montana extract to promote skin regeneration and strengthen its structure, and vitamin E to nourish the skin and increase its elasticity 👍. The cosmetic is enclosed in a beautiful bottle, has a delicate fragrance and is efficient. Without a second thought, our testers put Lili&Mu's olive oil on the first 🥇 place of the list, despite the limited availability of the cosmetic.

Eloderm moisturising lotion is a cosmetic for both adults and newborns. It has been developed for atopic, itchy, dry and irritation-prone skin 👍. Our testers agreed that the composition of the cosmetic is safe for the newborn and that the lotion does its job 😃. There were, however, opinions that in the case of very dry skin and exacerbated AD symptoms, the lotion performs moderately well. The ingredients include a complex of vegetable oils rich in omega-3,-6,-9 acids, which regenerate, nourish and lubricate the skin, shea butter to help rebuild the lipid layer of the epidermis, panthenol to soothe irritation and vitamin E to keep the skin in good condition 👏. Testers praised the fragrance-free formula of Eloderm lotion and the large pump packaging 🧴. Unfortunately, most said that the graphic design of the emollient resembled a pharmacy product and was not attractive.

  • safe composition
  • fragrance-free formula
  • prevents itching, irritation and alleviates symptoms of AD
  • lubricates and moisturises the skin
  • regenerates the skin

  • soothes irritation
  • large packaging with a pump
  • for use from day 1 of life

Disadvantages

Baby Boom has created a fragrance-free and natural gel for daily hygiene routines, designed for newborns from day 1 😘. Our testers praised the composition of the cosmetic, although they complained that the gel foams very poorly, which translates into low efficiency. However, the emollient formula adequately cares for and cleanses toddlers' skin and hair 👶. The ingredients include aloe vera extract to moisturise and regenerate the skin, panthenol to soothe irritation and inulin - a natural probiotic - to prevent the proliferation of harmful bacteria ✌️. According to the testers, the gel's packaging is adorable and, thanks to the pump, application is very convenient. Unfortunately the price 💰 of Baby Boom is high.

  • odourless
  • cleanses skin and hair
  • moisturises the skin
  • regenerates the skin
  • soothes irritation

Eco Baby is a vegan and unscented moisturising milk by Lirene. The cosmetic contains 98% ingredients of plant origin 🌿 from organic farming. It is designed for use from the first days of life. Our testers admitted that the milk moisturises the skin, but this effect is short-lived and, in addition, the cosmetic whitens the skin 🤔. However, they praised the composition of the product and its very nice packaging. Among other things, the formula contains shea butter to nourish the skin and prevent water loss, organic olive oil to protect the skin from drying out and organic aloe vera to soothe irritation and redness 👏. Although the bottle is small in capacity, the fact that it is made from sugar cane and is recyclable 👍 is a big plus.

Benefits

Lirene, Eco Baby, moisturising body milk

  • good composition
  • odourless
  • nourishes the skin
  • prevents water loss
  • soothes irritations and redness
  • nice packaging
  • sugar cane bottle for recycling
  • safe to use from day 1

Disadvantages

Lirene, Eco Baby, moisturising body milk

Editorial Text:

The Floral Freshness Gel Olive from Johnson's Baby is designed for use on babies from the first days of life 👶. However, our testers noticed that the composition of the cosmetic was too chemical for a product for newborns. They did not find any care ingredients of natural origin 🤷‍♀️. On the other hand, they found that the cosmetic lubricates the skin, is efficient, easy to apply and the price is favourable 👍. An intense chemical smell and a very thick and sticky texture were decisive for the placement of Johnson's Baby gel olive in last place in the ranking.

Benefits

Johnson's Baby, Floral Freshness, Gel Oil

  • lubricates the skin
  • efficient
  • easy to apply
  • favourable price

Disadvantages

Johnson's Baby, Floral Freshness, Gel Oil

  • the composition is artificial
  • lack of natural skin care ingredients
  • too intense a smell
  • leaves a sticky film on the skin
