NIVEA BABY products are specially formulated for baby skin. Especially during the first year of life, baby skin is more prone to problems due to weather change. Although a newborn's skin appears healthy and supple, it typically takes about a year to fully develop the skin barrier and functions. In comparison to grown-ups, a baby's skin is softer. Valuable important cells that offer natural skin protection and adequate hydration are not packed as close together. Hence, a baby's skin is more prone to irritants.

Fragrances have the power to either soothe or stimulate babies. When combined with gentle touch, scents can be remarkably effective. Research indicates that using almond oil and lavender during a baby massage is more effective in calming crying and relieving gas compared to a fragrance-free massage. Moreover, mothers who gave their babies scented massages reported lower stress levels than those who used unscented oils.

Experts recommend bathing babies approximately 2-3 times a week for hygiene reasons. However, baby bathing is about more than just cleanliness. The soothing touch of a baby in pleasantly warm water promotes bonding with parents. Moreover, the contact with water, foam, and the gentle, subtle scent of NIVEA Baby Bath stimulates the baby's senses and encourages their development. When bath time brings joy to both parents and babies, there's every reason to embrace more frequent baths beyond the suggested 2-3 times a week. The products used should always be tailored to the delicate and sensitive baby skin.

The NIVEA BABY Range is all about supporting a baby's natural skin barrier in its development with every touch. Carefully selected, natural ingredients have found their way into the NIVEA BABY formulations. At its core is an active complex composed of 100% natural almond milk and vitamins B5, C, and E. A baby's skin is in a phase of constant development during the first year of life and becomes more resilient over time. The synergy of almond milk and essential vitamins in the NIVEA BABY Range ensures that delicate and sensitive baby skin is optimally protected and strengthened in its natural development.

The ingredients are ideally suited to accompany the baby's skin during its maturation process without interfering with the natural process. The soothing properties of nutrient-rich almonds have been known in medicine for centuries. Their high content of fatty acids supports the infantile skin barrier, which is not fully matured in the first year of life. The vitamin E contained in almond milk acts as an antioxidant and fortifies the skin cells against pollutants. The Formulation with vitamin B5 contributes to the formation of new skin cells and collagen—important components of healthy skin that are not yet sufficiently present in babies during their first year. Finally, the vitamin C contained in the NIVEA Baby Range is a natural powerhouse ingredient, that as an antioxidant ward off pollutants and helps to improve the protective barrier of baby skin. The active complex in NIVEA Baby products is based on 97% pure natural ingredients, dermatologically tested, and approved.

In the first year of life, a baby's skin is not fully developed and exhibits some unique characteristics. Baby skin produces very little sebum and has few natural moisturizing substances. The pH level of a baby's skin is higher, and the skin itself is thinner. These attributes result in greater water loss, increased sensitivity, and a tendency towards dryness. NIVEA Baby Products prevent moisture loss and preserve the skin's suppleness. Ingredients such as nurturing, calming and 100% natural vegetable oils, like almond-, sunflower- and soybean oil, along with vitamins B5, C, and E, strengthen the baby's skin and keep it smooth. The shea butter contained in the formula softens and nourishes the skin.
