Baby skin is different to adult skin in its structure, composition and function. It has low barrier reserve1 and needs special care.2

Recognise that baby skin barrier is vulnerable:

  • More permeable

  • More prone to dryness

  • Less mature

  • Continues to develop beyond the age of  two

  • Potentially more vulnerable to applied substances1

 Baby skin is far more vulnerable than adult skin and needs extra protection.
