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). The simplest way to formulate a mild baby product is to reduce or eliminate the level of irritating ingredients. Another strategy for reducing irritation is using more mild ingredients like palm-based substitutes. Ideally, these ingredients should function in the same manner as the ones they replace (John, 1999).
