Aveeno Baby Daily Care Baby Barrier Cream (100ml) is a dermatologist-tested, pediatrician-recommended emollient barrier cream formulated specifically to protect, soothe, and help restore the skin barrier in infants and babies prone to irritation, particularly in the diaper area. Leveraging Aveeno's signature Colloidal Oatmeal along with zinc oxide and other skin-nurturing agents, the cream offers a triple-action approach: protection, moisturization, and skin repair — all while being gentle enough for daily use on sensitive, eczema-prone skin.
Advanced Dermatological Profile
Key Active Ingredients & Mechanisms of Action:
Zinc Oxide
Acts as a physical barrier that repels moisture, protecting the skin from prolonged exposure to irritants like urine, feces, and friction.
Possesses mild antimicrobial and astringent properties, helping to prevent and manage diaper dermatitis.
Supports wound healing by enhancing epithelial cell regeneration and reducing inflammation in the skin.
Colloidal Oatmeal (Avena sativa Kernel Flour)
A powerful natural anti-inflammatory and moisturizer.
Rich in β-glucans, avenanthramides, and polysaccharides, which soothe irritation, reduce redness, and support the skin’s natural microbiome.
Enhances barrier repair by replenishing lipids and forming a semi-occlusive film to retain moisture in the epidermis.
Glycerin
A humectant that draws moisture into the skin, aiding in hydration and improving elasticity.
Helps to repair the stratum corneum by restoring moisture balance, especially in dry or damaged skin.
Petrolatum
Provides a highly effective occlusive layer that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Forms a semi-permeable shield, enhancing hydration while allowing the skin to "breathe."
Panthenol (Provitamin B5)
A skin-conditioning agent that improves moisture retention, soothes inflammation, and promotes wound healing.
Enhances the skin's softness and elasticity, making it ideal for delicate baby skin.
Formulation Benefits
Non-greasy texture: Easy to apply and spread, leaving a breathable but protective layer on the skin.
Clinically proven mildness: Suitable for newborns and infants, including those with sensitive or atopic skin.
