Choosing and using the right baby skin care products plays a vital role in keeping your baby’s skin safe, protected and nourished in the right way. All you need to do is turn the product and read the ingredients to ensure it has all that makes it safe for your baby.

 

Here is your go to checklist for things to look for in a baby skin care product that will help you battle your baby’s skin dryness.

 

Designed for Babies: Products that are designed for adults are not suitable for babies. These products can damage your baby’s skin. Baby’s skin is 3x more sensitive than an adult’s skin. The golden rule is to choose products that are specifically designed for babies. Johnson’s baby cream and lotion are specifically designed for baby skin and have only the most safe and essential ingredients

 

 

Safety & Protection: Everything from a baby cleanser to moisturizer plays an important role in managing baby skin care. You use them day in and day out on your baby. It is important to ensure that these products are safe and recommended by Doctors. Baby skin care products should be free of dyes and chemicals like parabens and sulphates. It reduces the risk of allergies and reactions on baby’s skin and avoid damages caused due to prolonged use.

Johnson’s baby lotion helps nourish and keeps your baby’s skin hydrated for upto 24 hours. This works well for baby skin that is not too dry. Applying a generous amount of Johnson’s lotion that is enriched with emollients is thicker and helps preserve baby skin’s natural softness.

 

Mild Fragrances: Fragrances in baby products help them feel comfortable. It helps in their sensorial development and helps improve baby’s mood and strengthening the mum baby bond. However, fragrances used in baby’s products should be safe and free from any allergens and should not cause any harm to baby’s delicate skin. These should be tested and pass the standards of IFRA.
