The development of baby care products has always presented the cosmetic formulator with a significant challenge, principally because of the specific requirements. Baby care toiletries, which are necessarily designed to keep the infant clean, comfortable and healthy, must be formulated with safety requirements in mind (Justin, 1995). One aspect of safety that concerns consumers can be described as mildness, which is the product’s ability to perform its intended function without irritating the skin or eyes (John, 1999). When selecting ingredients for formulations, many factors must be considered because the skin surface area to weight ratio is significantly higher in babies than in adults (Randy and Perry, 1999). Generally, dye stuff and fragrance levels should be kept as low as possible, and preservative levels should be kept to a minimum, consistent with ensuring adequate preservation to negate the risk of contamination of the product or infection of the user (Justin, 1995).
