Evaluation of In-use Tolerance of Moisturex Baby Bathing Bar in babies.

Immediately after birth, the skin barrier of healthy, full-term neonates is competent, yet skin-

barrier function continues to develop through at least the first year of life. This developing

state of infant skin results in infant skin being susceptible to dryness and irritation from

external factors, such as cold weather and wind, as well as harsh topical skin-care products.

Therefore, it is critical that infant cleansers and moisturizers be well tolerated and not disrupt

the stratum corneum.

Given the importance of the skin barrier in neonates and infants, it is

important to use topical skin-care products that have undergone adequate skin-tolerance

studies, yet there are very few published studies,evaluating the tolerability or efficacy of skin

cleansers, lotions/emollients, and shampoos under real-world, normal conditions of use on

healthy, full-term neonates or infants. In this study the in use tolerance of Product will be

evaluated by use of Product on babies for a duration of 1 month, by clinical evaluation and

parent feedback.
