Moisturizer and baby shampoo are important for your baby

The difference between the skin of a newborn and the skin of an adult

The following differences in the composition of the skin of newborns from adults necessitate the use of baby moisturizer, baby lotion and baby shampoo for your baby.

• The thickness of the skin in newborns is 30% less than the thickness of the skin in adults.
• The rate of water loss from the skin at birth is higher than that of adults due to the low concentration of natural moisturizing substances in the skin.
• The skin dries out faster in newborns than in adults.
• The number of melanin-forming cells in newborns is lower than in adults and therefore they are less protected from sunlight.
• The skin of newborns is more susceptible to eczema.
• The skin of newborns is more susceptible to bacterial infections.
• The skin of newborns is more susceptible to skin infections such as diaper dermatitis.
• The skin of newborns is functionally incomplete and less thick than the skin of adults up to one to two years of age.
• Newborn skin is more sensitive to skin allergens such as perfumes and parabens

The importance of using a baby moisturizer for baby's skin

Because the skin of newborns is not fully developed and skin cells easily lose their water content due to the lack of natural moisturizing substances in the skin.

• Using a moisturizer for baby's skin is a necessity, not a luxury, to protect against dehydration, especially in the first months up to the age of 6 months .
• Using a moisturizer for the newborn's skin protects against complications of dry skin such as eczema, bacterial infections and infections such as diaper dermatitis.
• Such as qivi baby moisturizer in various sizes-Sebamed Baby moisturizer-Mustela baby moisturizer-Avenue baby moisturizer-Johnson's baby moisturizer-Babi baby moisturizer-Bioderma ABC derm baby moisturizer-Cetaphil baby moisturizer and many other moisturizing creams intended for children's skin.

The importance of using baby lotion for your baby's skin

Because the skin of newborns is not fully developed and has a thin layer of fat on it as a barrier to protect the skin from dryness and infection.

• Using a gentle lotion is necessary to clean the baby's delicate skin while maintaining the skin barrier layer that protects it from dryness, bacterial and fungal infections and allergies.
• Such as qivi baby lotion-Cetaphil baby lotion – Bioderma baby lotion – Sebamed Baby Lotion – Mustela 2 – in-1 Baby Lotion-Avenue baby lotion-Johnson's baby lotion and many other lotions intended for children's skin.

The importance of using baby shampoo for your child's hair

Because the production of natural fat from the scalp of newborns, which moisturizes the scalp and hair, is much lower than in adults ( the formation of a layer of fat on the scalp within two to 3 days only )

• The use of a gentle shampoo is necessary to clean the baby's scalp from fat, dust, dirt and dandruff.
• Children's shampoo differs from adult shampoo in active substances, most of which are natural substances that do not cause skin or eye allergies.
• Safe, non-allergenic detergents such as sodium tricyclic sulfate are used in baby and newborn shampoos.
• Used detergents
• Such as qivi baby shampoo-Cetaphil baby shampoo-Johnson baby shampoo-Sebamed Baby Shampoo-Mustela baby shampoo-Babi baby shampoo – Nono baby shampoo-sanostan baby shampoo and many other shampoos intended for children's hair.
