Kids products cover a wide range that families with children reach for in their daily routine – from food supplements in syrup, paste and gummy form to baby care creams, children's sunscreen and a toy cleaner. In WeNatur's Baby & Kids Products collection you will find products from brands such as Zühre Ana, Vita Ceel and Baby Friendly in one place. In this guide we introduce the products by form and explain what to look for on the label and which rules apply to use and storage.
What are kids products?
The kids products in this collection fall into three main groups. The first group is food supplements for children: syrups, cocoa paste and products in gummy form. The second group is cosmetic care products: a care cream for the baby's nappy area and a sunscreen for children. The third group is a cleaning spray for toys and surfaces. Each group has its own rules of use, so when choosing, the best place to start is to check which group a product belongs to.
Food supplements are not medicines and do not replace a varied, balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake, and ask your doctor or pharmacist whether the products are suitable for your child. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, or when taking medication, always seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist before using food supplements.

What to look for on the label of kids products
When choosing products for children, reading the information on the packaging carefully matters more than ever. Pay particular attention to the following points:
- Product type: if the packaging says “food supplement”, the product is a food and the rules for food supplements apply; the creams are cosmetics and the spray is a cleaning product.
- Age group and daily amount: follow the age group stated on the label and the recommended daily intake. Do not increase the amount on your own.
- Ingredients list: for products containing bee products such as honey, pollen, royal jelly and propolis, fish oil or plant extracts, check your child's known sensitivities.
- Flavour and sweeteners: strawberry, orange, banana and cocoa flavours as well as sweeteners such as stevia are listed in the ingredients.
- Cosmetic ingredients: the label shows that the nappy cream contains no parabens or perfume and that the sunscreen contains zinc oxide, chamomile and aloe vera.
- Warnings: notes such as “Keep out of the reach of children” and “Store in a cool, dry place” apply to all kids products.
How are kids products used?
Always give food supplements according to the instructions on the packaging. Shake the syrups among the kids products well before use and measure the dose as recommended on the pack. Use gummies and paste in the amount stated on the label too, and make sure your child takes the product under adult supervision. If you are considering using several food supplements at the same time, for example the products in a set, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
A different routine applies to kids products for care. Apply a thin layer of nappy cream to the cleaned and dried nappy area. Apply the kids sunscreen generously to exposed skin before going out in the sun and follow the reapplication advice on the label. Test every new cosmetic product on a small area of skin before using it for the first time, and stop using it if a reaction occurs.
Use the toy and surface spray according to the label instructions, wipe the surface with a clean cloth if needed and ventilate the room during use. Do not mix cleaning products with other products, and put them away out of the reach of children after use.
Storage tips
- All kids products should be stored in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.
- Protect syrups and paste from direct sunlight; see the packaging for storage conditions after opening.
- Keep the gummies pack closed; in warm conditions the gummies are more likely to stick together.
- Close creams tightly after use and check the expiry date.
