Aveeno Baby

Aveeno products are not tested on animals except in the few countries that legally require animal testing.

Animal testing for cosmetics is currently banned in the UK and across Europe.

Babies have delicate skin, so you’ll need to use a gentle moisturiser specifically designed for babies, or just a simple baby oil.

If your baby’s skin is very dry or cracked, avoid using creams or lotions unless told otherwise by a doctor.

You may use a natural plant-based oil like almond oil or olive oil to relieve dry skin if necessary.

Baby oil is specially formulated to keep your baby or toddler’s delicate skin soft, healthy and moisturised.

You can use baby oil during a baby massage, which is a great way to connect with your baby and may even improve their sleep.

Please note: the NHS recommends waiting until your baby is one month old before you start using any oils or lotions.

Some Aveeno products work as emollients, including the Aveeno Dermexa emollients and the Baby Soothing Relief emollients.

Emollients work by forming a protective barrier over the skin, locking moisture in and keeping irritants out.

This helps to not only hydrate your dry skin, but protect it from detergents, soaps, and other irritants that can aggravate dry skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis.
