Colombo, June 10 (Daily Mirror) - According to the Government Family Health Services Association, it has been reported that various allergies have occurred on the skin of babies due to the use of substandard soaps.

Association treassure Priyangani Susangika said some parents use substandard soap for their babies now, and that its impacts will be felt in the future.

Therefore, she requested the parents choose a baby soap approved by the Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLSI).

"The baby skin is very sensitive. The results of using substandard soap will not be evident today but will be seen after many years. Therefore, parents should be very careful when using soap," she said.

Substandard soaps cause skin allergies. Substandard medicines cause death. Substandard politicians caused bankruptcy to the country.

Not only baby soap, even other soaps are of very low quality. I have been using sunlight for decades and it has never caused any allergies for me but for the past 6 months or so when i use sunlight soap to wash clothes, my palms start to itch. The price of soap has risen sky high but the quality has gone down drastically!! Very pathetic!

Use Bola Saban Monday, 10 June 2024 05:18 PM

Why not you use the locally produced Bola Saban. It is cheap and is not imported.

First and foremost to our country most substandard consumer goods are passing through customs. So first point of entry is customs. These customs officers are bound to take bribes and release these goods without going through correct process.

It may not be an allergy but a chemical irritant that is added to enhance the soap. Parents should be careful with what they put on their babies.

Name the soaps so the people will not use it. By not giving the names of such soaps you are helping the culprits.
