Baby Powder
Baby Powder
To find the soothing touch for your baby's soft, sensitive skin, use baby powder. Dermatologists test cornstarch baby powder to ensure that it is hypoallergenic and safe for use on all skin types. Talc-free dustless baby powder protects baby's skin and lungs and allows for more precise application with virtually no mess. Many brands offer both unscented and lightly scented versions.
Alternative skin treats for babies
If your baby has especially sensitive skin, dermatologists and pediatricians recommend cream, balm and lotion forms for best results. Use medicated cream to protect skin from chapping and cracking, or apply it to soothe irritation caused by diaper rash. For more intensive treatment, opt for a healing balm in a tube, stick or pot. These products contain natural skin protectors and lock in moisture for proper balance. Choose from formulas with special ingredients to meet your baby's individual needs, such as products with aloe, vitamin E and other nutrients.
