Common infant skincare questions and evidence-based responses:

Infant skin care question

Evidence-based response

A mild soap is appropriate to cleanse? All soaps (except moisturising cleansing bars) can raise skin pH significantly and adversely affect the skin barrier1
Preservative-free is good? Preservatives prevent bacterial and fungal growth and ensure product stability
