Why are natural cosmetics more expensive than conventional skin care products?
Natural components are more expensive than petroleum products, and even more so if these raw materials are organically produced. This is because they are often produced in smaller, more local companies, which ensure environmentally friendly and sustainable processing and have been checked and certified.
What should I look for in baby care products?
In addition to special features such as fragrance or ease of application, the use of quality raw materials, as far as possible from organic farming, is essential. A baby's skin is very thin and sensitive to all substances with which it comes into contact, unfortunately also to harmful substances. It goes without saying that the emphasis must be on high quality.

Yes, our gentle formulas have been developed for delicate, sensitive and reactive skin. The natural composition of our products can help regulate baby's skin problems with a healthier routine, it is in any case advised before using too many stronger chemical products. Nevertheless, we can't replace thereviews of a professional, so don't hesitate to ask your pediatrician for thereviews for serious cases of skin problems. We also advise you to try it first on small, clean and healthy areas to see how the skin reacts.
Do Pioupiou products contain allergens ?
No, none of the 26 allergens recognized as such in the European Cosmetic Regulation are present in our formulas. An allergen is commonly defined as "any substance, often a protein, that induces an allergy". A list of 26 substances likely to cause allergic reactions has been established and these substances must appear on the product label when they are present at certain thresholds in the final formula. Generally, the allergens with the highest allergenic potential are contained in fragrances.
