Toxic components: myth or reality?
Based on the reviews, the Eared Nanny shampoo confuses many mothers with its composition from the package. Parents are afraid of complicated names that are associated with dangerous chemistry. Here are some 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 foamingits properties are included in almost all hygiene products, including biocosmetics.
- Cocamide DEA is a surfactant derived from coconut oil. Foaming additive that softens water and enhances the effect of other cosmetic ingredients. The substance is officially approved for use in rinse-off and leave-on cosmetics with concentration limits. So, for creams, oils and body lotions, the concentration of the substance should not exceed 10%, and for shampoos, shower gels and bath foams, this figure is even higher.
- Methylisothiazolinone is a preservative with antimicrobial activity, which allows you to increase the shelf life of hygiene products. At one time it became a substitute for parabens. The substance has a reputation for being an allergen. Dermatologists recommend using a preservative only in products that require further rinsing. As a rule, the mass fraction of a 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 of the Eared Nanny shampoo 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 difficult to comb after washing. Experts comment on this by saying that the task of shampoo iscleansing. For longer strands of older girls, use the conditioner option, then the hair will be obedient.
- Allergy appeared. The shampoo is a dermatologically safe product, but skin reactions in children with increased hypersensitivity to the components of the products are not excluded. In this case, the use of shampoo should be stopped and tried after a while, because a variant of a “false” allergy is possible, when the child was sprinkled on sweets, fruits or medicines.
- Doubtfully cheap price. Everything has an explanation. "Adult" shampoos do contain expensive ingredients: argan oil, keratins, silicone compounds, extracts from exotic plants, ceramides, etc. The task of the children's product is to cleanse the hair and scalp without heavy chemical compounds, therefore, the Eared Nanny shampoo is based on chamomile, water and foaming components. In addition, the product is made in Russia, that is, the cost of the goods does not include customs fees, carrier services and other costs, as in imported shampoos.
- Confused composition, too many obscure chemical names on the package. Information about the compounds will be thoroughly deciphered only by a biochemist. You need to understand that the usual decoction of chamomile will not wash your hair from sebum and dust, so components that cleanse the skin and, at the same time, are safe for the child are added to the product in a minimal amount.
- Thin consistency, not enough for a long time. It all depends on the thickness of the child's hair. If we are talking about newborns and children of the first years of life, then a lot of money is not needed to washfirst fluff. And for older girls with a long braid, the expense is much higher. Some people wash their hair twice in one bath. All this affects the period for which the remedy will be used.
- There are many better analogues World brands - Johnson's Baby, Bubchen and others - really offer good and high-quality shampoos. But, unfortunately, the domestic market is filled with fakes and you can often get a typical fake.
Baby reaction
If parents consider a cosmetic product from the side of smell, consistency and safety, then for children it is completely different. The cheerful design of the bottle, large soap bubbles and the absence of irritation in the eyes make "Eared Nanny" a truly favorite shampoo.
Moms say that with this remedy, bathing became possible without tears, tantrums and screams. The kids love the shampoo, so they definitely get an A plus!
