At the heart of many Aveeno Baby products is colloidal oatmeal, a finely milled form of oat grains that retains the oat’s natural active properties. Colloidal oatmeal has been recognized by the FDA as a skin protectant, making it ideal for managing conditions like eczema, dry skin, and irritation.
-
Skin Barrier Support: Oatmeal contains beta-glucans and starches, which help to reinforce the skin’s natural barrier by locking in moisture. This is crucial for babies, whose skin is thinner and more prone to moisture loss.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Oats are rich in avenanthramides, compounds that reduce redness, itching, and irritation by inhibiting inflammatory responses.
-
Cleansing Without Drying:
Oatmeal has natural saponins that gently cleanse the skin while preserving its protective oils.
Babies’ skin is uniquely sensitive, with a higher pH level and lower oil content compared to adult skin. Aveeno Baby products are formulated to address these differences, with a focus on being hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and free from irritants like parabens, phthalates, and synthetic dyes.
Safety Standards:
-
Pediatrician Recommended: Aveeno Baby products are tested for safety on sensitive skin and are gentle enough for daily use.
-
Fragrance-Free Options: For babies prone to allergies or eczema, fragrance-free products like the Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream minimize the risk of irritation.
One of Aveeno Baby’s standout products is its Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream, developed with dermatologists and backed by clinical studies. Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, affects up to 20% of children under the age of 5. The cream’s active ingredients, including colloidal oatmeal, are clinically proven to relieve the itching, redness, and scaling associated with eczema.
