Is babies’ skin more fragile than that of adults?
Yes, even normal baby’s skin is much more fragile than that of adults.
In adults, the skin is protected from attack by a mature hydrolipid film.
In babies and children under 3 years old, this natural protection is finer: the skin thus reacts more strongly to external variations.
In addition, the cells that make up the surface of baby’s skin are less firmly connected than in adults: this makes their skin more vulnerable to harsh external factors.
It is therefore extremely important to protect your baby’s skin under all circumstances with tailored, non-irritant and hypoallergenic skin care products.
