The market in baby care is a big business and it is growing larger too. In America the baby care has brought in about 7.5 billion dollars per year. Now because the baby care industry has gotten so much larger over the years, mothers are now being more educated about what they put on their baby's skin.

Baby skin is a lot different then adults skin and it needs to be cared for differently. Infant skin is formed before they are born so it is in the dark and it is in liquid until the baby is born.

The skin of the infant needs to adjust to a lot of changes. As people get older their skin also get older and thickens, so therefore a baby's skin is finer than paper and has a smooth texture. So a baby's skin has a lot of challenges to keep it's moisture and to protect itself from the harsh environment.

You must try to keep your baby's skin pH between 4 to 6, this will ensure that the acid mantel is surly supported. You should not use any products that contain animal products or have any by-products in them. It is also a good idea to not use any fragrance because this can irritate the baby's skin. You should be certain that any product that you are considering has been tested and is approved by a peadration and a dermatologist.

There are many products that just stat that they are hypoallergenic and that they are recommended. Some things that would be good for your baby's skin is vitamin A, vitamin E, oat extract, and Shea butter. Be sure to use very mild soap when you clean your baby. Sodium Laural Sulfate clogs pores so avoid it at all costs. Be sure to enjoy bath time and make skin care a ritual.
