What’s the difference between QV Baby Lotion and Cream?
QV Baby Skin Lotion has a lighter, more fluid consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin, making it suitable for daily full body moisturising after bath time. Our QV Baby Moisturising Cream has a richer, thicker texture with no greasy after-feel, that provides 24-hour moisturisation, ideal for targeting very dry areas, protecting against harsh weather, or providing overnight hydration. Both products are free from fragrance, colour, lanolin and propylene glycol and are recommended by paediatricians and dermatologists nationwide.
Is QV Baby Lotion or Cream suitable for babies with skin conditions?
Our formulas are specifically designed for everyday use and for sensitive or delicate skin concerns. The gentle, fragrance free formulation helps maintain the skin barrier and provides relief from dryness without irritating sensitive or eczema-prone skin. This is particularly important for babies prone to eczema, dermatitis, nappy rash, dry scalp and cradle cap. Many paediatricians recommend QV Baby products as part of a gentle skincare regimen for babies with sensitive skin conditions.
Is it better to apply Baby Moisturisers before or after bath time?
We recommend applying QV Baby Lotion or Moisturising Cream immediately after bath time while your baby's skin is still slightly damp. This helps lock in moisture and creates a protective barrier. Pat your baby dry gently with a towel and then apply the lotion within 3 minutes for best results. For best results, use after cleansing with QV Baby Bath Oil and QV Baby Gentle Wash. It is best to apply moisturiser after bathing, exposure to harsh weather, or before going to sleep for overnight hydration.
What makes Baby Moisturisers different from regular moisturisers?
Our QV Baby products are specially formulated for infant skin, which is thinner, more sensitive, and more prone to dryness than adult skin. These baby moisturisers are free from fragrance, colour and common irritants, and enriched with Niacinamide. This helps to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss in your baby’s delicate skin. QV Baby Moisturisers are also pH balanced, and undergo dermatological testing to ensure they are a low irritant formula.
