Gentle cleansing
DON’T we all love the soft, smooth and delicate texture of an infant’s skin? In fact, the skin of an infant is very fragile and should not be treated like an adult’s.
The ratio of a newborn’s skin surface area to body weight is approximately three times greater than that of an adult.
Thus, covering a similar percentage of the newborn’s body with a skin-absorbable substance will lead to a larger dose per unit of body weight compared with what an adult will absorb. For this reason, it is crucial to use baby skincare products that are gentle and non-toxic.
The dermis of baby’s skin is also thinner than in adults, causing it to be more prone to irritation.
The skin hardly produces any sebum before puberty and the acid mantle – a fine, slightly acidic film on the surface of the skin that acts as a barrier to bacteria, viruses and other potential contaminants that might penetrate the skin – only begins to develop after a baby is born and is liable to breakdown during childhood.
These factors make the skin of babies and children especially vulnerable to infections and irritation. As a child’s skin develops through the early years, the use of appropriate, evidence-based skincare products is important.
EUBOS Haut Ruhe Cleansing Gel Skin & Hair is a gentle cleanser specially made for the delicate skin and fine hair of babies and children. The product is soap free and has a physiological pH (the pH that normally prevails in the human body).
It is made from aloe vera gel, lipidreplenishing agents, soothing sea minerals and a blend of mild, predominantly plantbased surfactants that do not attack the protective lipids of the skin barrier.
It also contains natural lactic acid and lactate that support and preserve the skin’s own protective mantle, its biosphere.
Aloe vera gel is rich in amino acids, enzymes, minerals, phytosterols, polysaccharides and vitamins, which hydrate, soothe and vitalise the skin.
The efficacy and compatibility of EUBOS Haut Ruhe Cleansing Gel Skin & Hair with babies’ and children’s skin have been dermatologically confirmed. Daily use of the cleansing gel will not dry out the skin.
Made without preservatives, parabens, polyethylene glycol, lanolin, colourants, synthetic fragrances, silicones or paraffin, EUBOS Haut Ruhe Cleansing Gel Skin & Hair is suitable for babies and children.
