Baby Skin vs. Adult Skin

Baby Skin vs Adult Skin

Baby skin is uniquely different from adult skin and needs protection from birth.

New-born baby’s skin is very sensitive and fragile, up to 30% thinner compared to adult skin. It has a neutral pH resulting in reduced protection, making it more sensitive and vulnerable to external factors. Baby skin suffers a progressive adaption to the extrauterine environment, because of which, special care is needed from birth to until the baby’s first year of life.

What is the role of Baby’s Skin?

  • It acts as a barrier to protect from infection

  • Prevents loss of water from the body

  • Protects against penetration of irritants and allergens.

For healthy development and protection, baby’s skin requires unique care and specially designed products in relation to hygiene, bathing, cleansing, and moisturizing.
