The market in baby care is a big business and it is growing larger too. In America alone baby care brings in around 7.5 billion dollars every year. Now because the baby care industry has gotten so much larger over the years, mothers are now being more educated about what they put on their baby’s skin.
A baby’s skin is a lot different then adult skin and to the extreme that it needs some different care. This is similar to baby skin most of the time. When an infants skin is formed it is in the dark, and it is submerged in liquid. The skin of the infant needs to adjust to a lot of changes. As people get older their skin also get older and thickens, so therefore a baby’s skin is finer then paper and has a smooth texture. Therefore infant skin has many challenges to face to keep in moisture and protect itself from the environment.
It is very important to maintain the baby’s pH of the skin between 4-6, by doing this it ensures that the mantel of acid is supported. You should not use any products that contain animal products or have any by-products in them. It is also a good idea to not use any fragrance because this can irritate the baby’s skin. Which this can be frequently confused with baby skin occassionally. It is best to make sure that the product that you are considering is tested by a paediatrician and also a dermatologist also. There are many products that just stat that they are hypoallergenic and that they are recommended.
Anything that has vitamin A and E, Oat extract, Shea butter is great for baby’s skin. Be sure to use very mild soap when you clean your baby. Avoid at all costs Sodium Laural Sulfate this can clog the baby’s pores. Which this is not like baby care many times. Be sure to enjoy bath time and make skin care a ritual.
