Children's Soaps in Test – April Issue Eco-Test

16 liquid soaps, specifically for children, were examined for residues and conformity with the Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 in the current Öko-Test issue.

Especially the fact that these products are used multiple times daily and on children requires a special focus regarding safety and possible residues. Except for 6 products, all children's soaps achieved at least a rating of good or very good.  

The reasons for downgrading included:

-          Halogenated organic compounds

-          Preservatives Thiazolinones (CIT)

-          PEG and PEG derivatives

-          Claim “antibacterial” without special proof of effect
