CeraVe has redesigned and reformulated its baby line. The product lineup includes a newly formulated wash and shampoo, to meet the needs of a baby's developing skin. 

The products in newly designed packaging include CeraVe Baby Wash & Shampoo, now with Vitamin E, as well as Baby Moisturizing Lotion, Baby Moisturizing Cream and Baby Healing Ointment.

Jaclyn Marrone, vice president of marketing at CeraVe, comments, "As a dermatologist-developed brand committed to providing therapeutic skincare for all, including even the youngest skin, we created the Baby line with products that are not only free of harmful ingredients, but include the building blocks baby's developing skin needs, like ceramides, to ensure it has what it needs..."

The Importance of Ceramides for a Baby's Skin

CeraVe products, including the CeraVe Baby line, are formulated with three essential ceramides – 1, 3 and 6-II, which are identical to those found naturally in baby's skin.

Ceramides are naturally found in skin and help seal moisture in and keep irritants out. During the last trimester of pregnancy, the vernix caseosa, which is a naturally occurring protective layer that contains ceramides, covers and protects the baby's skin. As the vernix caseosa is removed soon after birth, it is critical that ceramides are restored in the baby's skin barrier.

Additionally, a baby's skin is about 30% thinner than adult skin and continues to mature after birth—making products that contain ceramides even more essential.

Board-certified pediatrician Dr. Whitney Casares says, "I always recommend a routine of gentle products that are specifically formulated for babies, like the CeraVe Baby line, because they are not only developed with pediatric dermatologists but are also formulated with key ingredients like ceramides that can provide long-lasting benefits for skin health."

More Baby Products

CeraVe's Baby line also includes Moisturizing Cream and Baby Moisturizing Lotion, both with hyaluronic acid and the brand's patented 'Multivesicular Emulsion' technology. This releases ingredients slowly over time, allowing them to absorb thoroughly into the skin to nourish the natural barrier.

The line also includes Baby Healing Ointment, a petrolatum-based formula that helps treat and prevent diaper rash by forming a protective seal to help shut out wetness; and Sunscreen Lotion SPF 45, a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen.

CeraVe's Baby line is available at Amazon and drugstores nationwide.
