JOHNSON'S® Safety

As a mom or dad, one of your first instincts when you see her delicate little toes and hold her gently in your arms, is to make sure she’s always safe.

We get it, because we’re parents too. That’s why we have some of the most rigorous product testing and safety and quality standards—and that’s how we set the bar for developing the best baby products around the world.

Our BEST FOR BABY™ Standard

Developing a new baby care product requires extensive research, review, and testing—with input from parents like you.  We’ve conducted more than 8000 clinical trials—covering over 12,000 ingredients with 550,000 volunteers—and every JOHNSON’S^® baby product is developed based on insights in partnership with three key groups:

• Medical Professionals, including pediatricians, pediatric dermatologists, nurses, and midwives help guide our understanding of your baby’s every need.
• Scientific Thought Leaders help us gather information on the latest discoveries, trends, and technologies to bring innovation to our baby skin and hair care products.
• Parents from all around the world teach us about the bonds and interactions between parents and babies.

But before any new JOHNSON’S^® baby product becomes available, it must also first pass our five-level safety assurance process. This process is uniquely designed to select ingredients and develop products that are repeatedly tested and specifically suited to be used on babies.

No More Tears®

Your baby’s eyes are more sensitive. So in 1953 we invented JOHNSON’S® baby shampoo with its NO MORE TEARS® formula. And since then, we’ve continued to refine our formula and have extended this technology across our portfolio of products.

Look for our NO MORE TEARS^® trademark which lets you know this product has been specially designed to be gentle to your baby’s eyes.

Clinically Proven Mildness™

JOHNSON’S® Brand pioneered research into the unique nature of infant skin care. To help protect baby's skin, we developed JOHNSON'S® baby lotion, which is now just one of the many JOHNSON'S® baby products that carries the CLINICALLY PROVEN MILDNESS™ trademark. Our products that complete this extensive and rigorous testing are awarded this trademark, which ensures that the product is safe and gentle enough for your baby’s delicate skin.
