Original Italy Johnsons Baby Oil 200ml Gentle Moisturizing Oil for Baby Skin Care Soft Smooth Protection

Product Overview

Johnson’s Baby Oil in the 200ml bottle, made in Italy — a lightweight oil for baby massage and for keeping skin soft after a bath.

Like all baby oils it works by sealing water in rather than adding it. That single fact decides how to use it: applied to dry skin hours after a bath it does little, applied within a few minutes of lifting the baby out it holds that moisture in for hours.

Key Benefits

• Locks in moisture after a bath
• Light texture, easy to spread for massage
• Leaves skin smooth and soft
• 200ml — fits a changing bag
• Suitable for newborns and adults alike

Using Oil on a Baby

• Warm a little in your palms first rather than pouring it straight onto the baby.
• Keep it away from the face, and particularly away from the nose and mouth — oils can be inhaled, and that is a genuine risk with infants rather than a theoretical one.
• An oiled baby is very slippery. Have a towel down and never carry a freshly oiled infant across a hard floor.
• Massage after a bath and before a feed, in a warm room, when the baby is settled and alert.
• Stop if the baby turns away, cries or arches the back. Those are the signals that the massage is finished.

200ml or 300ml?

Same oil. The 200ml suits a changing bag or a first purchase; the 300ml is better value if you already use it daily for massage. Neither is a different formulation.

Patch Test First

Before using any new product on a baby, apply a small amount to a patch of skin on the inner arm and leave it for 24 hours. Redness, bumps, or the baby scratching at the area means stop.

Introduce one new product at a time. If three are started together and the skin reacts, there is no way to know which caused it. Check with your doctor before using anything new on a baby with eczema or broken skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to use it?

Within about three minutes of the bath, while the skin is still slightly damp.

Can I use it for massage every day?

Yes. Daily massage is fine and is often the settling part of a bedtime routine.

Is it safe near the face?

Keep it away from the face, nose and mouth on infants. Oils can be inhaled.

How should it be stored?

Somewhere cool and dry with the cap closed, out of reach of children. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from the hot water tap.
