Babycare
Infant Care requires care and attention in formulations to ensure the products are gentle, safe, non-irritating, maintain the integrity of the skin barrier, and protect infant skin in sensitive areas such as occluded nappy regions.
Importantly, as the infant's body is adjusting to the prevention of microbial infection and dehydration it is paramount that infant care formulations should contain only ingredients that are necessary.
Beyond consideration of the overall health of the infant, Arete Labs will ensure packaging is safe, and that the requirements of caregivers are understood. Our capabilities include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, nappy cream, body lotion, cream, lotion, oil, bubble bath, and powders.
