Toxic components: myth or reality?
Based on reviews, the Eared Nannies shampoo confuses many mothers with its composition from the packaging. Parents are frightened by the complex names that are associated with hazardous chemistry. Let's look at a few of the most controversial ingredients:
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine. This substance is indeed a surfactant, but its action is mild and gentle. It exhibits toxic properties when taken orally or applied to the skin in large quantities. As part of shower gels, soaps and shampoos, the ingredient is safe. In addition, having high detergent and foaming properties, it is included in almost all hygiene products, including biocosmetics.
- Cocamide DEA - surfactant derived from coconut oil. Foaming agent that softens water and enhances the effects of other cosmetic components. The substance is approved for use in flushable and indelible cosmetics with limited concentration. So, for creams, oils and body lotions, the concentration of the substance should not exceed 10%, and for shampoos, shower gels and bath foam, this figure is even higher.
- Methylisothiazolinone is a preservative that has an antimicrobial effect, which allows to increase the shelf life of hygiene products. At one time, became a substitute for parabens. The substance has a reputation for allergen. Dermatologists recommend using a preservative only in products that require further rinsing. As a rule, the mass fraction of the substance in cosmetic products does not exceed 0.01%, which is an absolutely safe concentration.

Negative opinions and expert comments
If we talk about negative reviews on shampoo "Eared Nannies" with chamomile or vitamin, then they can be summarized in the following list:
- Not an option for girls with long hair. Many note that very thick curls are hard to comb after washing. Experts comment on this with the fact that the task of shampoo is cleansing. On long strands of older girls, you need to use the air-conditioned option, then the hair will be obedient.
- There was an allergy. Shampoo is a dermatologically safe product, but skin reactions in children with increased hypersensitivity to the components are not excluded. In this case, the use of shampoo should be stopped and tried after a while, because the option of a “false” allergy is possible when the child is sprinkled on sweets, fruits or medicines.
- Doubtfully cheap price. There is an explanation for everything. “Adult” shampoos really contain expensive ingredients: argan oil, keratins, silicone compounds, extracts from exotic plants, ceramides, etc. The task of a children's product is to cleanse the hair and scalp without heavy chemical compounds, therefore, the basis of the Eared Nanny shampoo is chamomile, water and foaming components. In addition, the product is made in Russia, that is, customs duties, carrier services and other expenses are not included in the price of the goods, as in imported shampoos.
- Confuses composition, too many obscure chemical names on the package. Information about the compounds will be thoroughly decrypted only by a biochemist. You need to understand that a regular chamomile broth will not wash your head of sebum and dust, therefore, components that cleanse the skin and, at the same time, are safe for the child, are added to the product in a minimal amount.
- A thin consistency, not enough for a long time. It all depends on the density of the hair of the child. If we are talking about newborns and children of the first years of life, then a lot of money is not needed to wash the first fluff. And for older girls with a long braid, the expense is much more. Some in one bath twice soap their heads. This all affects the period for which the tool will be used.
- There are many more high-quality analogues. Global brands - Johnson's Baby, Bubchen and others - really offer good and high-quality shampoos. But, unfortunately, the domestic market is filled with counterfeit and often you can get on a typical fake.
Kids reaction
If parents consider the cosmetic product in terms of smell, texture and safety, then something else is important for the children. The cheerful bottle design, large soap bubbles and the absence of irritation in the eyes make Eared Nannies a truly favorite shampoo.
Moms say that with this tool bathing became possible without tears, tantrums and screams. Children like shampoo, so they definitely have a five plus!
