Why Baby Skin Needs Extra Care

Common Baby Skin Irritants & How to Avoid Them
Babies have thinner skin than adults, making them more susceptible to redness, dryness, and irritation. Here are some of the most common culprits:
1. Synthetic Fabrics & Harsh Detergents
👕 Many baby clothes are made with synthetic materials like polyester that trap heat and moisture, causing irritation.
💨 Detergents with harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances can trigger skin allergies.
✔ Solution:
• Opt for breathable fabrics like bamboo clothing and organic cotton newborn clothes.
• Use a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic detergent for washing baby clothes.
2. Heat & Sweat
🌡 Overdressing your baby or using thick fabrics can cause heat rash, newborn face rash, or baby acne.
✔ Solution:
• Choose lightweight baby outfits like our bamboo pajama sets.
• Dress your baby in layers so you can easily adjust for temperature changes.
• Use a baby-friendly moisturizer to prevent dryness.
3. Skincare Ingredients That Trigger Reactions
🧴 Many baby care products contain alcohol, sulfates, and artificial dyes, which strip moisture from the skin and cause irritation.
✔ Solution:
• Use natural baby eczema cream or infant eczema cream with soothing ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, or shea butter.
• Look for dermatologist-approved baby care products that are free from parabens and artificial fragrances.
4. Friction from Clothing & Accessories
👶 Accessories like headbands for newborns, infant hats or beanies, and pacifier clips can cause irritation if they rub against the skin too much, especially if they're made of non-breathable fabrics.
✔ Solution:
• Choose soft elastic infant accessories that won’t leave marks.
• Avoid tight-fitting hats that can trap heat and cause sweat rashes.
