Frequently Asked Questions

What does Ceramide NP do in a baby moisturiser?

Ceramide NP is a key lipid component of the skin barrier — particularly important in eczema-prone skin, which has a genetically reduced ceramide content. Applying ceramide topically helps rebuild the skin's protective lipid layer, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and preventing the entry of irritants, allergens, and bacteria through the compromised barrier. This is the same science behind popular adult eczema creams like CeraVe.

What is the benefit of Oat Kernel Flour in baby skin care?

Colloidal oat (Avena sativa) is one of the most scientifically supported natural skin ingredients — it contains avenanthramides that have anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties, beta-glucans that moisturise and form a protective film on the skin, and proteins that soothe irritated skin. It is the preferred ingredient in many paediatric eczema formulations.

What is Kakadu Plum extract and why is it included?

Kakadu Plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) is an Australian native fruit with the highest natural vitamin C content of any known food source. The extract provides antioxidant protection for the skin, supports collagen synthesis in developing skin, and has gentle antimicrobial properties — beneficial for sensitive and easily-irritated baby skin.

From what age can I use DermaVeen Baby Calmexa?

DermaVeen Baby Calmexa is formulated specifically for babies and young children. The hypoallergenic, fragrance-free formula is suitable from birth. For very young babies or skin with active eczema, perform a small patch test first before full application.

How does DermaVeen Baby Calmexa compare to QV Baby or Cetaphil Baby?

DermaVeen Baby Calmexa Extra Rich offers a more advanced formula than basic baby moisturisers — it contains both Ceramide NP (for barrier repair) and Oat extract (for anti-inflammatory soothing) that QV and standard Cetaphil Baby formulas do not include. The Kakadu Plum extract also adds antioxidant support. It provides more targeted eczema-prone skin support than general baby moisturisers.
