by editor on Sep.02, 2010, under News
A business that is growing everyday is the baby care market. 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.
Baby skin is a lot different then adults skin and it needs to be cared for differently. This is similar to adult 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. 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.
You must try to keep your baby’s skin pH between 4 to 6, this will ensure that the acid mantel is surly 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 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 some products that are out there that try to go overy this recommendation by saying that they are hypoallergenic and 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. Sodium Laural Sulfate clogs pores so avoid it at all costs. Which this is not like markets many times. However you choose to take care of baby’s skin, enjoy bath time and the great time after.
