If you’re concerned about a specific food affecting your baby’s skin, or if you’re generally concerned about their skin despite getting the right nutrition, speak with your pediatrician. Should I bring my baby to a dermatologist? Food grade olive or coconut oil are great as moisturizers, and plant-based creams and salves such as cocoa butter, beeswax, and aloe are gentle and safe to put on baby’s skin,” Solomonian adds. How often should I put lotion on my baby? You might have seen all sorts of claims on social media and the internet when it comes to looking after your baby, including what's best to put on their skin. Because baby skin is naturally more delicate, you’ll want to look for baby lotions that are formulated without harsh ingredients that can be rough or irritating to your child’s sensitive skin. Ingredients to avoid

This ingredient works with other ingredients to moisturize baby's skin. Naturally derived from coconut. DimethiconeWhile it might seem like the list of things you need to buy for your new baby (or baby-to-be) is miles long, there are really only a handful of necessities that you’ll use regularly — and for some people, one of those is baby lotion.

Now, we have combined our latest clinical research with our love for babies to improve our products, meeting and beating the top regulatory standards in the world.

This group of ingredients has been carefully chosen to work together to be easily applied on baby’s delicate skin and provide moisturization. Water (eau) The fragrance in Johnson's Baby Lotion is simply included in the ingredients list as 'parfum', so it's hard to know exactly what it is.Our formulators have designed this special blend of fragrances to create memorable experiences and minimize fragrance allergens and irritants. Fragrance (Parfum) (Aubepine Para Cresol, Benzyl Acetate, Bicyclo Nonalactone, Dipropylene Glycol, Mefrosol) The same applies to a number of other baby lotions, including the Fred & Flo product and Superdrug's My Little Star, as well as Sainsbury's Little Ones which is advertised as being 'delicately fragranced'. This ingredient works with other ingredients to moisturize baby's skin. Naturally derived from vegetable oil. Isopropyl Palmitate Drying soaps should be avoided, as babies generally don’t need soap at all except in the diaper area, and even there, a mild soap is important to avoid irritation or drying,” she says. Keep in mind that less is more and most babies don’t need lotion, to begin with. If you decide to use lotion on your baby, you may want to consider applying it after bathtime to maximize their skin’s ability to retain moisture, according to Solomonian.

The main concernwith nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbedinto the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin). Once absorbed they might form unwanted complexes with proteins and they might promote the formation of evil free radicals. But do not panic, these are concerns under investigation. A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". The English translation is, so far it looks like sunscreenswith nanoparticlesdo stay on the surface of the skin where they should be. Just like you lather your skin with body lotion to fight dryness, your baby might experience dry skin, too. Enhances the performance of an emulsifier. Helps keep the ingredients in our baby lotion from separating and gives it a consistent texture. Naturally derived from coconut or palm oil. Cetyl Alcohol Helps provide desired consistency and supports optimal application experience. Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) OilIt’s normal for babies’ skin to go through some transitions as they adjust to life outside the womb in the first few days and weeks, so don’t be alarmed if you notice some acne or peeling early on. As well as moisturising, baby lotion needs to be gentle and not harsh when you use it as part of your baby's skincare routine. Having healthy skin is dependent on an adequate supply of a variety of key nutrients. If you’re nursing, this will come from your breastmilk, and if you’re formula-feeding, this should come from the formula. The saturated nature of coconut oil also means that it is a heavy-duty-oil ideal for dry skin types. A double-blind research confirmed that extra virgin coconut oilis as effective in treating xerosis (aka very dry skin) as mineral oil.Another study found that coconut oil is more effective than mineral oil in treatingmild to moderate atopic dermatitis (aka eczema) in children. It’s always good to have your baby’s skin assessed by a competent healthcare provider if there is a concern that does not resolve on its own,” Solomonian says. “Persistent dryness, redness, itching, or a visible rash should be assessed by your baby’s doctor to determine the next best steps.” What skin care ingredients should I stay away from?
