Although baby care products are made to care for delicate infant skin, which is thinner, more sensitive, and has not yet fully developed the barrier function, they prefer safe and tender care without harsh chemicals, allergens, and irritants. Ingredients used include sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances-all those nasties are in the high-risk basket. Baby lotions generally use hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested ingredients that don’t compromise the natural pH balance of the skin, retaining the latter’s integrity while working to inhibit microbial infection.
Product safety is confirmed through a rigorous safety assessment including in-vitro and clinical studies that assess skin irritation, sensitivity, and microbial contamination. Furthermore, tear-free testing for shampoos and hypoallergenicity assessment further improve their suitability for infants. Overall, these very acute scientific methods guarantee that baby care products are highly effective, safe, and supportive of developing healthy skin
Elevated levels indicate potential inflammatory response and irritation.,
Inflammatory Cytokine (Interleukin-6 [IL-6])
Increased secretion suggests skin irritation and systemic inflammatory effects.
Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFa)
TNF-α: High concentrations reflect inflammatory activity and possible irritant effects on skin.
pH
pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of a product, with an optimal range of 4.5 to 5.5 for maintaining skin barrier integrity and preventing irritation,
Osmolality Testing
Osmolality Testing: Significant osmolality variations can lead to irritation and disrupt skin barrier function.
