Soaps and Shampoos in Pediatric Practice

Joseph G. Morelli MD1 and William L. Weston MD1

1 From the Departments of Dermatology and Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver

Cleansing of the skin and hair is part of the daily routine of all neonates, infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents. Numerous soap and shampoo products are available to the consumer. The pediatrician is often asked to comment on the safety and efficacy of these products. Little information is available to help the pediatrician make a rational decision. The list of ingredients on the package are seldom useful and can be confusing. The theoretical and practical considerations leading to the addition of the major constituents of soaps and shampoos are reviewed and guidelines for the use of soaps and shampoos under normal circumstances and in a few selected conditions are suggested.

Key Words: soap • shampoo • skin • hair
