The Power of Scent
We purposefully chose to keep fragrance in our new products because scent plays a key part in happy, healthy baby development. In collaboration with the world’s premier fragrance houses, we created our new gentle scents.

Did you know?
Over 90% of all industry-led baby skin care research comes from JOHNSON´S®.
Pioneers in Baby Care Research
We’re committed to delivering the best for babies. For decades, we’ve pioneered research to further understand the unique needs of baby’s eyes, skin and hair. This science is behind every one of our gentle and mild products, which meet or exceed the top regulatory standards in the world.
Here’s some of our baby care research:
Sight
Babies’ eyes continue to develop after birth, making sight the last sense to fully develop
Eye contact is critical for social development
Newborns can only focus their eyes at 8 to 12 inches (the distance to your face when you’re cradling or feeding)
Whilst adults blink every 3-5 seconds, in their first year it is not unusual for babies to keep their eyes open for one whole minute, so their eyes are more vulnerable to irritation
Touch
Physical contact is a baby’s first emotional bond, and is key for emotional and intellectual development
Skin is the first line of defense against toxins, irritants, and allergens
Babies’ skin is up to 30% thinner and more sensitive than adults
Hydration is key for strong baby skin
Scent
Babies are able to smell before they’re born
Enjoyable and familiar scents improve mood, calmness, and alertness
Mother’s scent can stop baby from crying
In a study, babies bathed with a fragranced bath product engaged 30% more with their mothers after bath, compared to babies bathed in a non-fragranced bath
Sleep
Studies indicate that 20-30% of babies experience sleep problems
Many parents express a desire to change some aspect of their baby’s sleep
We partnered with Dr. Jodi Mindell, a leading paediatric sleep expert from Saint Joseph's University and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, to develop our 3-Step Bedtime Routine
