Aveeno Baby launched the ‘Daily Moisture Cleansing Bar,’ a soap-free, sulfate-free bar formulated with colloidal oatmeal at pH 5.5 and developed with pediatricians and dermatologists for newborn and sensitive baby skin. The Aveeno Baby colloidal oat cleansing bar uses coconut-derived surfactants to create a mild foam without disrupting the skin’s acid mantle. It is clinically tested to reduce dryness and strengthen the skin barrier from birth.
Developed for the Indian market, where the Indian Academy of Pediatrics reports a 20% to 39% increase in atopic dermatitis among children, the bar is priced at INR 200 across e-commerce and modern trade channels.
As sensitive skin conditions rise among infants in India, Aveeno Baby shows how bringing a clinically proven oat-based ingredient into a bar format can meet growing parental demand for science-backed baby skincare beyond traditional liquid cleansers.
