I was recently asked – What is the best baby soap for fairness in India? Frankly, I was a bit taken aback by the question wondering if there are really fairness soaps for babies in the market. I did some digging to find the fairness baby soaps and this is what I found.
There are several categories of soap in the market & we usually get confused what to choose. Categories like Organic, Ayurvedic, Medicated, Anti-Bacteria, etc. Soap companies stamp such big words to attract traffic. However, it’s our responsibility to select the best for our child. Isn’t it? Baby’s skin is extremely sensitive as compared to teenagers or adults. There are many baby soaps available in the market but selecting the best is really a difficult task. So if you are thinking which baby soap would be best for fairness, stick with me till the end.
A baby’s tender skin needs care and extra supervision. We just can’t risk any product on a baby’s skin. Babies have weak immunity. They are more prone to infections & bacteria. So, parents need to be cautious about their infant’s skin.
Pediatricians often recommend not going for soaps until the infant turns 1 year old. Till that time you may use mild baby washes.
How to choose the Best Fairness Soap for Babies?
Disclaimer: A person’s colour completely depends on his/her genetics/DNA & melanin. Soap won’t make a difference in a babies color. However, soap can help cleanse the skin & display the best. Washing skin with soap removes dead cells & cleans pores. Soap won’t make your baby fair but it will just enrich his colour grade a bit accompanied by clean face.

IMP NOTE:
It’s never wrong to search for things that can make your baby fair. But there are no such things that can change your baby’s complexion, it’s natural. However, surgery is the only option if you are greedy of colour (Eg: Michael Jackson). But going for such options is really a nuisance. An important notice to all parents, accept your baby in the way he/she is. Don’t let their mind think this discrimination or color level. Soaps or lotions can upgrade their complexion a bit by clearing out germs & clarifying their face.
People tend to take tablets or steroids to become fair, this might seem good while starting. But for a long run, you will surely face those side effects. So buy soaps for your baby or child but keep in mind no soap can make a person completely fair. Overall, don’t let your child’s self-esteem be destroyed just by making him/her remembering their color. That’s all!
