Common conditions that affect a baby's skin include eczema, diaper rash, dry skin and cradle cap. Choosing the right skin care products is important for treating the problem and not exposing a baby to unneeded ingredients and chemicals. Baby Center urges parents to contact their baby's pediatrician if a skin issue doesn't clear up when treated with skin care products. Swelling or discharge from a rash or dry skin also warrants a call to the doctor. Many skin care products are designed for a baby's skin.
Mustela
The Mustela brand of baby skin care products are the top sellers in Europe, according to Expanscience Laboratories. According to Mustela, a baby's skin is not fully developed and is more sensitive to outside stimuli. Their skin care products are safe to use on a baby's delicate skin and are free of parabens, phthalates, alcohol and BPA. Products available in Mustela's skin care line for babies include lotion, lip balm, massage oil and chest rub. These products may be difficult to find in the United States, but are available for purchase at mustelausa.com.
