Benefits / What You Get from Using It
Using Cetaphil Baby Massage Oil gives several advantages for baby skin:
1. Long-lasting hydration
It helps the skin retain moisture for many hours (up to ~8 hours), preventing dryness.
2. Soothing & calming
Ingredients like calendula and vitamin E help soothe irritation, soften the skin, reduce mild redness or discomfort.
3. Skin barrier protection
The oils and butters help restore and protect the natural barrier of baby skin, reducing moisture loss and shielding from environmental insults.
4. Gentle, suitable for delicate / newborn skin
Free from heavy irritants (soap, mineral oil, parabens), hypoallergenic, clinically & dermatologically tested. Meant to be safe even for newborns.
5. Improved skin texture
Regular massage with this oil helps in keeping skin softer, smoother; the skin often feels more supple.
6. Bonding & massage benefits
Massage can be soothing for both baby and parent — promotes relaxation, may aid in better sleep, improved circulation. While this is a more general benefit of massage oils, it's part of the appeal. (Inferred from usage context.)

Potential Considerations / Limitations
Even though fragrance is mild, in very sensitive babies fragrance might still cause irritation — patch testing is advisable.
Oiliness or stickiness: some parents might find oils leave residue or feel greasy especially in hot, humid climates. It's best used in small amounts and massage well.
Use with caution on broken / severely irritated skin unless advised by a pediatric/derm specialist.
Proper storage: keep bottle closed and away from heat, to avoid changes in oil quality.
