Fragile Infant Skin Needs Diligent Formulations

Infants have partially developed skin, due to which they lack defense mechanisms. Additionally, their skin is more sensitive as compared to adult skin. Due to the porous nature of baby skin, substances can leak into their blood circulation. This fragility and permeability of baby skin makes even permissible adult products unsafe for children. Due to these factors, formulations for babies are subject to stringent rules. Hence, it is crucial for formulators to select ingredients that have been properly evaluated and determined safe for infant skin.
