Baby Products Guide | Natural Baby Care Essentials from 0 Months On

How do you choose baby products that are truly safe and gentle on your little one’s skin?

 

Let’s be honest—shopping for baby stuff can be tricky. These days, nearly every product on the shelf claims to be "natural" or "low-irritant," but as parents, how do you really know what’s safe and effective, and what’s just clever packaging? Pick the wrong product, and your baby could end up with rashes or skin reactions.

Baby skin is about one-third the thickness of adult skin, but it absorbs things up to three times faster. That means whatever you put on it gets into their body more easily. And since babies' immune systems aren’t fully developed, ingredients that are okay for adults can be too harsh or even toxic for babies.

That’s why ingredient lists and certifications matter. As a trusted natural baby product store in Hong Kong, Serendipity House only offers products that are certified organic, safe, and hypoallergenic. We’ve handpicked top brands like Attitude Living and Seventh Generation, and grouped them into thoughtful care sets based on your baby’s age and needs.

  

  

  

5 Ingredients to Avoid When Shopping for Baby Products

  

With Hong Kong's hot and humid climate, babies' delicate skin can react to common additives found in everyday baby products. Here are 5 ingredients you should steer clear of:

  • SLS/SLES (Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate): Found in shampoos and washes to make foam, but can strip moisture and irritate sensitive baby skin.

  • PEGs (Polyethylene Glycol Compounds): Often used as emulsifiers, but may contain carcinogenic contaminants.

  • Parabens: Used as preservatives, but can disrupt hormones and potentially affect your baby’s development.

  • Artificial Fragrances and Dyes: These might make the product smell nice or look pretty, but they can cause eczema or skin allergies in babies.

  • Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives & MIT: Banned in many countries due to their toxicity and irritation risk.

 

Pro Tip: Look for trusted certification labels like EWG VERIFIED™ or ECOLOGO®. These third-party standards are not just marketing claims—they mean the products are vetted for human and environmental safety, giving you real peace of mind.
