abstract = "A great variety of baby skin and hair care products are brought to the market. Those products claim to be specially developed for the delicate baby skin and therefore specific requirements should be considered when developing products for the care of babies. In order to understand whether babies need different skin and hair care cosmetics than adults, it seems necessary to explain some anatomical and physiological differences of the skin and annexes between both groups. A further distinction can be made between the skin of full-term and premature babies, but in this chapter only the former group is considered. Cleansing and protective baby cosmetics are available and in the EU they are based on exposure-based risk assessment as well for the individual ingredients as for the finished products. Finally, some common baby skin problems and the applicability of cosmetic products in impaired skin conditions are discussed.",
