It's a long story.

Simply put. Rizks' mom used the oil on his body when he was a baby and now he uses it on his bonce that he is bald. It helps reflect the light..

Every baby is different - their skin reacts to different substances and are sensitive. I too had heard of J&J and anyways my baby reacted to J&J - so been using SebaMed line of products which are excellent

Technically a child under 6 months doesn't need soaps or body wash, just water will do. A bit of baby lotion after a bath is fine as well.

Johnson's baby products are all synthetic. They contain petrochemical substances (paraffinum liquidum which derives from kerosene and causes a large number of skin issues), artificial colors and fragrances, as well as preservatives.

Having briefly mentioned this, how safe they can be? On healthy babies they won't have immediate side effects, but on long term they will to the point that you won't have any clue it's them to blame.

There are dozens of organic products these days. Why you have to wonder about Johnson's any longer?

I wouldn't use it on a baby, I would wait until they are at least 6 months before using any soaps or chemicals. Saying that, I've been using baby lotion for years on myself....

Johnsons baby products are absolutely safe, I have been using it for my kid since day one never had any problem. But i think it depends on the skin of the baby as well, kids with sensitive skin might have problems. Never tried but I hv heard mother care baby products are milder than Johnsons.
