The JOHNSON'S® Skin Maturation Study revealed that infant skin is immature so it absorbs and loses moisture at a faster rate, highlighting the need for extra mild cleansing as well as protection against dryness. Interestingly, signs of dryness are not always easily evident to parents. In fact, in a clinical study JOHNSON'S® researchers found that 90 percent of mothers surveyed believe that their babies’ skin is not dry, yet over 60 percent of these babies had clinical signs of dryness.

Because the skin cells develop at a rapid pace, the skin has a high metabolic activity that can lead to the potential for oxidative stress. |
