A newborn baby’s skin is delicate and requires extra care. The epidermis layer of a baby’s skin is around 30% thinner than an adult’s and loses moisture more quickly.
So, it’s no surprise that their skin may be prone to dryness and reactions when in contact with irritations. To combat dry skin which can cause itching and rashes, it is recommended to use a gentle baby lotion to support the skin’s barrier and prevent moisture loss.
Here are our top picks of mild baby lotion that will help keep your child’s skin soft and moisturised without any harsh chemicals.
