Can I use Cetaphil body lotion for my 6-year-old son who plays outdoors in dust? Is it suitable for protecting his skin?
Yes, Cetaphil body lotion is generally safe and suitable for children, including a 6-year-old. It is a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser that helps keep the skin soft and hydrated, especially after exposure to dust or outdoor play. However, it does not form a protective barrier against dust or dirt; it mainly helps prevent dryness and irritation. For best results, apply it after bathing and keep the child’s skin clean. For outdoor protection, use lightweight, breathable clothing and apply sunscreen if he plays in the sun.
