To provide your baby's skin with the necessary care every day, you first need to identify your baby's skin type, fully understand their skin needs, and choose products suitable for that skin type.

How to distinguish dry skin

Dry baby skin often peels and feels rough, unlike the soft skin of a normal baby.

Understanding Dry Baby Skin

Baby Skin vs. Adult Skin <br />A baby's skin may appear flawless, but it is actually very delicate and fragile. A newborn's skin barrier is not yet mature and has limited resistance to the external environment. It doesn't enter the first stage of maturation until around the age of two.

Between birth and age two, a baby's skin does not yet have the ability to retain enough moisture for normal cell function. However, a baby's skin also contains a lifelong reserve of stem cells at birth, which can support the skin's regenerative capacity, but it remains extremely fragile before the age of two.

Dry Skin vs. Normal Skin <br />Dry baby skin has an insufficient lipid barrier and is more prone to dehydration than normal skin, thus requiring particularly delicate care. Mustela's research team discovered and scientifically confirmed that dry baby skin is a skin structure characteristic that can appear within just a few days after birth.

Meeting the needs of baby's dry skin

To fully address the needs of dry skin, the Mustela research team developed a patented active ingredient:

• Avocado Perseose
  Avocado Extract Sugar is the perfect protector for your baby's skin. Like a protective shield, it helps the skin resist external aggressors. This is a patented natural active ingredient developed by Mustela, designed to blend perfectly with baby's skin, offering both high tolerability and clinically proven efficacy. It helps develop the skin barrier function, maintains skin moisture, and protects the rich primitive cells in infant skin, resisting harmful external factors such as sunlight, strong winds, cold, and pollution.
• Dermo-nutrition Complex
  Dry skin needs stronger protection and continuous hydration. This complex deeply nourishes baby's dry skin, repairs and strengthens the skin's hydrolipidic film, and provides long-lasting protection.
