Baby Skin Care

DID YOU KNOW?

Children’s skin has the same Ph level as water (7), which is why their skin is more prone to fungal infections. As fungus does not like acidic conditions, it does not grow as easily on adults who usually have Ph levels between 5 and 6.

The Ph level of your baby’s skin can be easily irritated during the first few years of life by using harsh detergents and skin care that is not formulated for the sensitive skin of a baby.

When choosing skin care for your baby, here are 6 great tips:

• Choose products that are Hypo-allergenic

(formulated not to cause reactions, such as Mustela)
• Dermatologist recommended
• Ph balanced products for baby’s skin ( Ph level of 7)
• High quality ingredients
• Products that treat and protect your baby’s skin
• Manufactured under strict guidelines
