Needs of delicate children's skin


Children's skin is particularly sensitive and different from adult skin, which is why it requires special care. Because it is thinner and more permeable, the wrong care products can quickly lead to irritation and allergies. In particular, products for adults, which are often more heavily perfumed, should be avoided. In this article, we explain why children's skin has special requirements and what you should look out for when using care products for children.

Children's skin is more permeable

The skin is the largest organ in our body and the ratio of skin surface area to body weight is particularly high in our little ones. As a result, a particularly large number of substances are absorbed through the skin of small children and it is important to pay attention to what gets onto the skin.

In addition to its sensory function, however, our skin can do much more: it regulates body temperature, protects us from environmental influences such as germs and pathogens and also plays a key role in metabolism. This makes it all the more important to take loving care of our skin right from the start.

Protecting children's skin

Children's skin is even thinner than that of adults. The sweat and sebaceous glands are not yet fully developed, so the protective hydrolipid film is only weakly formed and children's skin is often prone to dryness. The protective function first has to build up, which is why children's skin is often referred to as sensitive and requires special care in addition to UV protection.

At Dresdner Essenz, we use mild sugar and coconut surfactants as well as valuable care ingredients such as wheat protein, sesame oil and almond oil for our children's bath additives and shower products. Our Dreckspatz products even go one step further and are certified natural cosmetics.


We recommend using care products specially developed for children that are tailored to the needs of children's sensitive skin rather than products for adults, which are often more strongly perfumed.
