From an early age we are all familiar with a baby cream with a cat and a dog on a tube. His mother anointed us before going out for a walk on a windy or frosty day. And even earlier (we don’t remember this anymore, since it was in infancy), this cream was applied to us all over the body after bathing. And now we are doing the same, but with our children. The cosmetic industry, including in Russia, does not stand still, and the classic tube with a dog and a cat has many competitors. Here you have “Tick-tak”, and “Ruddy cheeks”, and products with bunnies, foxes and Little Red Riding Hoods with Pinocchio on a tube. But this cream continues to be the undisputed leader of user sympathy. Although he got a double: the same cat and dog, but in a green, not blue design. Many women continue to use this cream themselves. In this article, we test creams from different manufacturers, consider the composition and product reviews.
Good old classic
Baby cream with a cat and a dog on a package in a blue design used to be just universal. They smeared priests for infants with diaper rash, weathered cheeks for babies, and adults used it with dry hands. Even with the roughened heels, this cream coped perfectly well. He treated minor scratches and, they say, helped with youthful acne. Now the closest in composition and consistency to that universal cream under the uncomplicated name “Detsky” is releasing its products by OJSC “Liberty”. So, let’s consider it first of all. The tube may be aluminum, although recently such packaging is unprofitable. But in plastic or in metal, and importantly, filling is important. As the manufacturer promises, the cream contains vitamins F and A, as well as chamomile extract. Its consistency is very oily. But the cream is absorbed into the skin quickly, without leaving a sticky feeling and without dirtying clothes.
Blue baby cream with a dog and a cat: composition
All baby care products are designed so as not to harm the hypersensitive skin of the baby. Therefore, they should all be hypoallergenic. The presence of chamomile extract further enhances the protective property of the cream. After all, this flower has long been considered a panacea for wounds. And indeed, chamomile has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects. Therefore, a cream with it is good as a tool for diapers. After all, the skin of a child’s ass, irritated by contact with urine, can become inflamed. Vitamins perfectly nourish. Therefore, many women use a baby cream with little animals from OAO Liberty instead of the night one. Also, these vitamins perfectly moisturize dry skin. If the hands in winter are all "tiptoe", the best way to make them smooth and velvety again is not to be found. Associated materials (paraffin, confectionery fat, lanolin, etc.) do not harm the body. They are designed to absorb the medicinal ingredients of the cream into the epidermis.
Green analog
This is a relatively new baby cream with a dog and a cat. The green and blue counterparts from OAO Liberty have a similar composition. And the effect on the skin is the same. Unless the texture of the green cream is more delicate, airy. It has a smell similar to its blue predecessor. Perfume composition is not to say that it is very pleasant. But this is a certain aroma of childhood, familiar at a subconscious level. This product is available in both aluminum and plastic tubes. It costs a little more - about thirty rubles instead of twenty-five. The manufacturer announces a green baby cream with little animals as a protective agent for very sensitive skin. It can be applied under the diaper. Thanks to a more delicate light texture, the cream is quickly absorbed without leaving a greasy film. It can also be used at a more mature age, especially for people with dry skin. Let's now take a closer look at the composition of this tool.
Improved release?
Before us is a baby cream with a dog and a cat - green and blue. What is the difference besides the color of the tube? You will find the answer to this question if you carefully read the composition. He, unlike the blue counterpart, is completely indicated on the back of the tube. As we see, in addition to chamomile extract and vitamins A and F, other medicinal plants are included. The first is lavender oil. It soothes existing irritations, softens and moisturizes the epidermis. Menthol, which is also present in the cream, has a cooling effect, relieves burning and itching. As you can see, such a composition is ideal for applying cream under a diaper. The tool perfectly treats infant prickly heat and diaper rash. The cream gives the baby a sense of comfort. Is it effective for adults? Yes, in case of sensitive skin. Many people use this cream in the winter when their cheeks are chapped. Also, the product well softens coarsened areas, removes peeling.
Products from LLC NPO ADELEYD
A classic baby cream with a cat and a dog has become so popular that other manufacturers began to produce it. One of them is NPO ADELEYD LLC. This manufacturer produces a cream for children with a similar design. Only if you look closely, instead of a cat and a dog, a green bunny shows a bunny and a teddy bear. The composition of the tool is also different. One of the main ingredients is water and petroleum jelly. Vegetable oil and wax in the emulsion do not seem suitable for delicate baby skin. But the cream also has medicinal plants. These are a series of extracts, aloe vera and chamomile. The perfume fragrance of the product is slightly different than the good old cream with a dog and a cat. But the price is similar. The same available to everyone, about twenty rubles.
What users say about this product
The useful properties of the series have long been tested by traditional medicine for the treatment of such "childhood" diseases, such asropivnica and diathesis. Therefore, the cream with animals from the company NPO ADELEYD LLC also found its connoisseurs. However, its texture is not at all greasy. Due to excess moisture, this product cannot serve as reliable protection against frost and wind, like a classic baby cream with a cat and a dog. But it can be applied under makeup. This cream is perfectly absorbed, leaves no trace. It is not as soft as classic. As a plus of this product, it can be noted that it does not clog pores. Therefore, it can be applied to adults as a day and night face cream. Dry hands and roughness on the skin, he is unlikely to cure.
Baby cream with a cat and a dog "Avanta"
This is another manufacturer of a favorite product among the people. The blue tube of this company is identical to the one produced by JSC Liberty. The same inscriptions: "Children's cream with vitamins A and F and chamomile extract." The price is about the same, about thirty-five rubles. Is there a catch here? Let's study the composition. It is indicated on the back of the tube. We see that in the cream there is in the first place liquid paraffin and only then water. As related materials ceresin, confectionery fats, paraffin, lanolin, sorbitan oleate, benzyl acetate, alcohol are listed. And finally, the healing substances: vitamins A and F, eucalyptus oil, chamomile extract and menthol. Such a composition causes a moderately greasy cream consistency. Can I use this product for children's hygiene? Definitely yes. There are no harmful or allergic substances in the composition.
Can adults use baby cream?
On this occasion, heated debate does not stop. Say, a baby cream lowers the pH of the skin, which in adulthood can lead to a burn effect. In addition, this tool clogs the pores due to its fat content. But there are opposing opinions. Children's cream with a dog and a cat reviews are called extra-age. They are used as anti-stretch marks during pregnancy, as protection against wind and frost, as a hand cream, as a lip balm and coarse heels. And even as a mask for the split ends of the hair! As you can conclude from the analysis of numerous reviews, you need to try this cream on yourself. Moreover, the cheap price allows it. This cream helped a lot to some, but not to others. One thing is clear: it is effective for dry skin. The fat cream moisturizes even more, makes sebum secretions work more intensively.
From infant diaper rash
Now consider the above funds according to their purpose. For whom is a baby cream with a dog and a cat produced? Instructions are not needed here. Of course, for the smallest. And, as an analysis of reviews shows, most consumers use this cream for the ass of their children. Best of all, the green tube from Freedom OJSC copes with the task of eliminating diaper rash, soothing itching and eliminating redness. Avanta also produces a good cream that can be used in the daily hygiene of infants. It is good to apply under diapers. But the baby cream from NPO ADELEYD LLC is too liquid for such purposes. It brings only a short-term effect. If the baby has problems with allergies, all three remedies will not cause an undesirable reaction.
As a protective tool against environmental influences
It was for this purpose that a baby cream with a cat and a dog was developed. The photos of these tubes bring back frosty days when my mother smeared her cheeks, nose and even ears with this product before going out. And now, according to user reviews, all creams from the three above-mentioned companies cope with the task of protecting themselves from environmental influences perfectly. The blue tube from the Avanta company won especially praise. This cream is very oily, forms a transparent film on the face, which protects it from weathering and frost. But not from the sun! - warn the reviews. Unless you smear the face of the baby with a thick layer of cream. To protect against ultraviolet radiation, you need a special sunscreen. But the cream in the blue tube is absorbed for a long time. The kid can play snowballs or ride sleds as much as he wants. A cream will protect it from contact with a frosty environment. Adults can also use this tool in the cold season.
Face and body cream
This remedy is very nutritious. If you regularly apply it in the palm of your hand, your hands seem to be transformed. Where does dryness, small cracks and sores go? Hands seem well-groomed, velvety. Especially in this regard, a blue baby cream with a dog and a cat from Avanta is good. With this tool, it is also good to smear the coarsened areas of the body - elbows, heels. But for the face, this cream is not suitable for everyone. Many girls, having crossed the fourteen-year milestone, are in no hurry to part with a tube that depicts a cat and a dog. They use cream at night, under the eyes and on the face. But the remedy is good only in case of dry skin. If it is oily, and even more prone to acne, the cream will not work, and may harm it.
