Backed by an robust safety and efficacy study conducted among newborns, babies and toddlers with sensitive skin, the premium non-soap bar has been clinically tested to provide gentle cleansing, reduced dryness and enhanced barrier function. Unlike conventional soaps, which are often alkaline and may disrupt the skin’s acid mantle, Aveeno’s Baby’s soap-free cleansing bars are formulated to be milder and are commonly used to provide gentle care for a baby’s sensitive skin.
Sharing the rationale behind the launch, Manoj Gadgil, Business
Unit Head – Essential Health & Skin Health and VP Marketing,
Kenvue said, “Over the last decade, there has been significant
increase in babies and children suffering from sensitive skin
conditions like Atopic Dermatitis (AD), eczema and diaper
dermatitis largely due to extreme weather and environmental
conditions. As per the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP), the
incidence of AD in Indian children has increased by approximately
20-39%1. Given the growing incidents, parents are increasingly
seeking diverse solutions to prevent and effectively manage these
conditions.
We are excited to introduce the Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture
Cleansing Bar, bringing the same goodness of colloidal oat to a
new bar format and further strengthen our clinically proven
sensitive-skin portfolio in India. This innovation reflects our deep understanding of baby skin science and physiology, developed in collaboration with pediatricians & & dermatologists, to create a superior product that offers relief and hydration creating a strong foundation for a baby’s healthy skin.”

Not all cleansers are equal and effective, especially for sensitive skin conditions. Today, premium soap-free cleansing bars are becoming the preferred choice in pediatric practice due to their effective cleansing properties while being gentle on the skin and preserving the natural barrier. Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Cleansing Bar is clinically tested to provide gentle cleansing, reduce dryness with a balanced pH to protect the barrier function making it an ideal cleansing solution for babies with sensitive and compromised skin.”
