A business that is growing everyday is the baby care market. In America the baby care has brought in about 7.5 billion dollars per 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. Infant skin is formed before they are born so it is in the dark and it is in liquid until the baby is born. The skin of the infant needs to adjust to a lot of changes. When people age the skin thickens, so baby’s skin is very thin and has a fine 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. Any fragrance could be irritating on a baby’s skin so it would be best to avoid any fragrance at all. Which this can be frequently confused with adult 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.
Some things that would be good for your baby’s skin is vitamin A, vitamin E, oat extract, and Shea butter. 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 markets many times. Be sure to enjoy bath time and make skin care a ritual.
