# Infant Sensitive Skin Products Aveeno Baby Launched Its Colloidal Oatmeal Cleansing Bar By Adam Harrie | Published 2026-05-21 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colloidal-oatmeal References: [passionateinmarketing](https://www.passionateinmarketing.com/aveeno-baby-strengthens-its-sensitive-skin-portfolio-launches-daily-moisture-cleansing-bar-in-india-with-the-power-of-oat/)  [Aveeno Baby](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aveeno-baby-1) launched the ‘Daily Moisture Cleansing Bar,’ a soap-free, sulfate-free bar formulated with [colloidal oatmeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatmeal-cleansing-milk) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifelong-online) 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.
