Your newborn’s skin is delicate and deserves the best care. We spoke with dermatologist Dr. Rhonda Meys to share her top tips for keeping your baby’s skin healthy and protected.
Key Takeaways:
- Newborn skin is thin and more prone to irritation.
- Choose products with minimal ingredients, free from additives and fragrances.
- Use a gentle moisturizer or barrier cream for protection.
Understanding Delicate Skin
Newborn skin is thinner and more sensitive than adult skin, making it susceptible to dryness and irritants. At this stage, the skin barrier is developing and needs hydration without allergenic additives. Fragrance-free products, free from unnecessary additives, are a good choice for sensitive skin. Our Ecoriginals wipes, made with 99.7% New Zealand purified water, help maintain a baby's skin softness without harsh chemicals.
Debunking Hypoallergenic Myths
The "hypoallergenic" label might look reassuring, but there's no standard regulatory definition, meaning it can sometimes be misleading. Instead, looking closely at ingredient lists and avoiding fragrances, dyes, and unnecessary additives is key. Less is best for your newborn.
Choosing the Right Skincare
Ingredients to Avoid
Selecting skincare for newborns involves knowing what to avoid—fragrances, parabens, phthalates, and sulfates can lead to irritation. Keeping it simple with natural, plant-based ingredients minimises the risk of reactions. Always read labels to ensure a product's safety.
Keeping Products Simple
Simple is better. Fewer ingredients mean fewer risks of irritation. A straightforward routine supports the natural balance of a baby's developing skin. Focus on essential, effective components for trust in what goes into your little one’s skincare.
Moisturising Effectively
Moisturising locks in hydration and supports skin’s development. A fragrance-free moisturiser with gentle, nourishing ingredients like organic oils is ideal. This helps safeguard against environmental stressors while keeping your baby’s skin soft and resilient.
