Everyone is involved in preparing everything the baby will need, from clothes to accessories and naturally the right products for a newborn’s delicate skin. The physiology of babies’ skin, especially before they are one year old, is very different from that of adults: the thin corneous layer means the skin is smooth and soft, but also more exposed and sensitive to external aggressions; the basal layer of the skin contains few melanin-producing cells, determining a low natural protection against harmful ultraviolet rays; the thin lower dermis is has small, undeveloped collagen and elastic fibres; sebaceous glands will be underactive until puberty (the skin has no smell); the lipid balance is then different from that of an adult in quality and quantity; a baby’s skin is more permeable because of its high water content (approximately 75%); the pH level is slightly less acid than that of adult skin. These characteristics make a baby’s skin more exposed to aggressions of a physical (like wind, cold and sun), chemical (irritating substances) or bacterial nature. Choosing a specifically formulated baby care range is then vital from the very first day, to: guarantee complete safety effectively satisfy hygiene needs protect your baby’s skin.
