💬 What real owners actually say
Synthesized from 2026 owner reviews & discussions across social media — the things spec sheets leave out.
Fragrance-free and gentle. Choose mild, fragrance-free washes to protect delicate skin.
Less is more. Babies don’t need elaborate routines — a simple wash and moisturizer suffices.
Short, not-too-hot baths. Brief lukewarm baths a few times a week prevent drying.
Cradle cap is normal. Gentle brushing and a mild shampoo usually handle it.
Moisturize eczema-prone skin. Fragrance-free cream helps; see a doctor for persistent rashes.
Each slider sets how much each criterion matters to you (0 = ignore, 10 = critical).
