Caring for baby skin properly
Building the protective skin barrier takes until the fourth year of life. Choosing the right baby care early on protects against dryness and can lower the risk of atopic skin conditions. Here you find out what sensitive baby skin really needs.
Discover care for sensitive skinWhy baby care is so decisive in the early years
Your baby's skin needs special attention in the first years of life. It is not yet fully matured, the protective skin barrier keeps developing until at least the fourth year of life. That is exactly why the care routine has such a strong effect during this time.
Studies show that baby skin cared for properly from the start develops a more stable protective barrier. In children with a genetic predisposition, consistent care can clearly reduce the risk of developing atopic dermatitis later on.
What dermatologists ask for
Seven requirements for good baby care
Dermatologists and paediatricians agree: baby care follows different rules than adult cosmetics. Every care product for sensitive baby skin should meet these seven criteria.
-
Mild and tuned to sensitive skin
Baby care must not put extra strain on the immature skin barrier. Formulations are tailored specifically to sensitive infant skin, with minimal irritation potential.
-
Free from fragrance
Fragrances are among the most common allergy triggers in cosmetics. They have no place in baby care, neither synthetic nor as essential oils.
-
Free from alcohol (ethanol)
Ethanol draws moisture out of baby skin and damages the skin barrier. Care products for babies are alcohol-free and use gentle preservatives.
-
Dermatologically tested
Every batch is independently tested for compatibility with sensitive skin. vujo Frischling carries the Dermatest seal “very good”.
-
pH-neutral
A pH-neutral value supports the build-up of the natural acid mantle and helps the skin to develop its own protective function.
-
Without critical ingredients
Free from mineral oils, palm oil, synthetic fragrances, silicones, parabens, allergenic plant extracts, PEGs and microplastics. What does not belong in stays out.
-
Few, high-quality ingredients
The shortest possible INCI list, the highest possible share of organic ingredients. Every single ingredient has a clear purpose, nothing is added for looks or marketing.
In practice: how to care for sensitive baby skin properly
Optimal baby care primarily provides the skin with enough moisture. Dry patches, the area after bathing, harsh weather: those are exactly the moments when baby skin needs a gentle, fragrance-free lotion or a few drops of baby oil to lock in moisture and support the protective skin barrier.
Creams and lotions should spread well and be applied more often rather than too thickly. Important: baby care stays scent-neutral so the natural fragrance of your baby is not covered up. That very own scent is a key anchor of the parent-child bond.
