Medicine Description johnson-rsquo-s-reg-baby-oil 75 ml
JOHNSON’S® Baby Oil is a medication designed to create a protective barrier on the skin, which aids in moisture retention. The primary component, mineral oil, acts by forming a thin occlusive layer that traps water in the skin's outer layer, thereby reducing transepidermal water loss. This mechanism not only enhances the skin's hydration levels but also provides a soothing effect, making it beneficial for infants with delicate skin. The gentle application of the oil during massages can further stimulate blood circulation and promote relaxation, contributing to overall skin health and comfort.
