Baby lotions moisturize and protect babies’ skin from bites, rashes, and other skin problems. They are usually applied after showers, diaper changes, or regularly throughout the day. Unlike regular lotions, baby lotions use milder chemicals and natural ingredients to suit the baby's sensitive skin. Common ingredients include aloe and chamomile. Lanolin is also found in most lotions, although it has been found to contain harmful chemicals commonly found in insecticides.
Nighttime Baby Lotions are applied before bedtime to maintain the skin's natural moisture overnight. They also protect against skin conditions like irritation and diaper rash. They usually contain lavender, chamomile and other relaxing scents to help soothe the baby. Therapeutic Baby Lotions
Therapeutic Baby Lotions are used to treat common skin problems, such as insect bites, rashes, and sunburns. They usually contain aloe and other cooling ingredients to help reduce pain and swelling. They may be applied on the site of infection or to surrounding areas to prevent it from spreading.
Chemical content: Choose a baby lotion with little or no chemical preservatives. Look for organic lotions containing mostly herbal ingredients. Avoid those containing commercial lanolin, lindane, DDT, and diazinon. Also, avoid scented lotions because perfumes can cause allergic reactions.
Texture: Choose a light, smooth baby lotion that gets absorbed easily and does not get sticky. Avoid those with a grainy consistency because they can chafe or irritate your baby's skin. Look for one that spreads easily and feels cool on the skin.
