When they are born, babies have very delicate skin that is immediately exposed to a multitude of external stressors.
BIODERMA's solution: ABCDerm, a dermatological range formulated to ensure high tolerance and optimal safety for your baby or toddler. With foaming gel, cleansing cream, cold-cream, body cream and moisturizer, this range enables you to care for your baby's skin every day and meet its specific needs.
Babies' delicate skin requires delicate care, as it has not yet fully developed its barrier function. We recommend choosing gentle high-tolerance skincare products that have been tested to strict safety standards for babies and young children. It is best to pick productsthat have been specifically developed and tested to meet the needs of their skin, and clearly state that they are suitable for infants and young children. BIODERMA's ABCDerm range has been developed and dermatologically tested for the skin of babies and toddlers. BIODERMA laboratories have developed a dermatological commitment to formulation, which corresponds to precise and strict specifications.
Your baby will need different care products at different moments. For daily bathing, choose a gentle soap-free cleanser that is not delipidating, meaning it does not attack the lipids naturally present on the skin’s surface. To cleanse their face, eye contour and hands during the day, and for diaper changes, micellar water for babies and young children is an ideal choice that can be used from birth (except for premature babies) with no rinsing required.
Newborn skin also needs to be moisturized regularly, as it is very fine and permeable. Just a few weeks after birth, it stops producing sebum until the age of 2 – and the sebaceous glands don’t reach maturity until adolescence. After each bath, apply a rich moisturizing cream to your baby's body and face to prevent dehydration. Look out for any redness, particularly in folded areas, and apply moisturizing or cold cream to protect the skin.
The skin is a dynamic ecosystem that can evolve very quickly, especially in babies. Redness, irritation and small pimples can be a source of stress for parents. To make it easier to monitor your baby’s skin, BIODERMA has developed an innovative AI tool, Skin Observer.
