Normal baby skin

Your baby’s skin is a protective covering against the outside world. It’s also a source of interaction, awakening and emotion connected with each of your baby’s senses. Since skin provides protection and aids sensory development, it needs specific care and your full attention from the time your baby is born.

Recognizing normal baby skin

Normal baby skin is soft, supple and silky to the touch. It has no irregularities or obvious signs of dryness or sensitivity.

Understanding normal baby skin

La peau de votre bébé est comme toutes les peaux de bébé, si belle et si parfaite en apparence elle recèle en fait une grande fragilité.

Your baby’s skin is like all infant skin, which seems so beautiful and perfect but in fact it’s extremely delicate.

At birth, babies have an immature skin barrier. Your baby’s skin is highly delicate and vulnerable to daily outside attacks, and does not reach the first stage of maturity until the age of two.

Between birth and age two, a baby’s skin is not yet able to retain the proper level of moisture it needs for its cells to function properly.

A baby’s skin has an unsuspected source of strength at birth: a reserve of stem cells, unique for an entire lifetime, enabling skin to regenerate all the life, but extremely vulnerable and fragile until the age of 2.

The special nature of a baby’s skin compared to adult skin has been scientifically proven, thanks to an unprecedentedMustela research program spanning more than a decade that studied infant skin from the first days of life.

Adressing the needs of your baby's normal skin 

To fully address the needs of your baby’s normal skin, Mustela’s researchers have developed a natural active ingredient: Avocado Perseose.

The perfect ally for babies' skin, Avocado Perseose functions like a shield to protect it from outside attacks. It actively aids the development of the cutaneous barrier, helps maintain skin hydration level while protecting the skin’s cell reserves against everyday stresses.
