Unlike regular soap that can cause dryness and irritation, Sebamed Baby Wash's ultra mild emollient formula supports the moisture balance of your baby's delicate skin. Gentle enough to use every day, this moisturizing cleanser naturally softens and soothes with allantoin and squalane to keep even the most sensitive baby skin at its huggable, healthy best. All Baby Sebamed products are meticulously formulated to naturally protect a baby's delicate skin. A newborn's skin lacks the natural hydrolipid protective barrier, which is established during the first few months of life.
