Johnsons Baby Oil, 300ml

Johnson’s Baby Oil 300ml is a clinically proven emollient designed to lock in moisture and protect delicate skin. Ideal for newborns, infants, and adults with dry or sensitive skin, it forms a protective barrier that prevents water loss, leaving skin soft, smooth, and hydrated. Trusted by parents and pharmacists, it is best applied on damp skin after bathing for optimal hydration. Johnson’s Baby Oil is a topical emollient containing mineral oil (liquid paraffin) designed to prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by forming a protective hydrophobic layer on the skin surface.
It is commonly used in paediatric skincare to maintain hydration, improve skin elasticity, and support barrier function.

How Johnson’s Baby Oil 300ml Works

Johnson’s Baby Oil works through an occlusive mechanism:
Forms a protective lipid barrier on the skin
Reduces water evaporation (TEWL)
Enhances skin hydration retention
Leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple
Unlike humectants, it does not draw moisture in, but locks existing moisture into the skin, making it highly effective post-bathing.
