Why baby skin is so sensitive
Baby skin is more easily irritated, dries out faster, has no UV protection and is more prone to infections. Here you find out why your Frischling's skin works so differently and what it really needs right now.

Four properties that set baby skin apart from adult skin
Your Frischling's skin is not a smaller model of our own. It has a different structure, different permeability, different sensitivity. That is exactly what shapes good baby care.
-
More easily irritated
The corneal layer in particular, which surrounds the skin as a protective shell, is significantly thinner and more permeable in a Frischling than in older children and adults. Irritants reach the skin cells more easily.
-
Dries out more quickly
Sebaceous and sweat glands are not yet fully developed in the first months of life. The protective lipid film is barely formed, moisture evaporates more quickly and the skin tends to dryness.
-
No natural UV protection
Baby skin produces fewer pigment-forming substances and barely any melanin. Direct sunlight is a no-go in the first year of life, and even in the shade caution is needed.
-
More prone to infections
The protective skin barrier is not yet fully developed. Bacteria, fungi and harmful substances can penetrate the skin more easily, and small irritations can quickly become a point of entry.
In babies, the corneal layer and epidermis are far more permeable
Compared with adult skin, your baby's corneal layer and epidermis are noticeably finer. The protective skin barrier is not yet fully developed, so care substances and unfortunately also irritants reach the tissue more easily. On top of that, your baby's skin is also their largest sensory organ, every touch is felt intensely.
For exactly these reasons, vujo Frischling follows a clear principle. We formulate consistently fragrance-free, without alcohol, without irritating preservatives. What goes onto sensitive baby skin should care for it and burden it with nothing more.
