Intro: Babies Are Not Tiny Adults

Baby skin looks soft and perfect — but it’s incredibly vulnerable.

Infant skin:

is thinner

absorbs ingredients faster

has an immature immune system

What you apply matters more than you think.

Why “Natural” Is Risky for Babies

Natural products often contain:

essential oils

nut oils

botanical extracts

fragrance compounds

These can overwhelm developing immune systems.

The Allergy Connection

Studies show early topical exposure to nut proteins may:

increase allergy risk

sensitize the immune system

worsen eczema

This is why pediatric dermatologists caution against nut oils.

Essential Oils Are Especially Dangerous

Babies’ nervous systems are still developing.

Essential oils can cause:

breathing issues

skin irritation

neurological effects

“Natural” doesn’t equal “baby-safe.”

What Baby Skin Actually Needs

✔ minimal ingredients
✔ fragrance-free formulas
✔ nut-free compositions
✔ barrier support
✔ gentle hydration

Less is more.

Final Thought

Babies don’t need luxury ingredients.
They need protection.

Simple, allergen-safe skincare is the safest choice.
