The CeraVe story began in 2005 after experts noticed that many skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and dry skin all had one thing in common: a compromised skin barrier. Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe offers a complete line of skincare & haircare products that contain three essential ceramides enhanced with a revolutionary delivery system to help restore the skin & scalp's natural protective barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a daily baby bath with this wash really become a calming, ritualistic moment?
Yes. Many parents use CeraVe Baby Wash as part of a slow, soothing wind-down routine because the tear-free, fragrance-free, gentle lather keeps baby comfortable while the predictable bath steps become a calming cue for sleep.
Does the formula include skin-nourishing ingredients beyond basic cleansing?
Yes. Beyond gentle cleansing, CeraVe Baby Wash includes 3 Essential Ceramides to reinforce the skin barrier, Hyaluronic Acid for moisture retention, and Vitamin E to soothe the skin.
Will this wash help my baby's skin feel comfortable and hydrated after the bath?
Yes. The ceramide and hyaluronic acid blend is designed to help skin retain moisture after rinsing, so baby skin feels soft and comfortable rather than tight or dry post-bath.
Is this a good choice for a mindfulness-focused, low-stress bath routine?
Yes. Because it is tear-free and fragrance-free, it supports a calm, sensory-friendly bath without strong scents or stinging, which makes it easier to keep bathtime slow, intentional, and low-stress.
Can I use this wash as part of a post-bath skin barrier routine for eczema-prone skin?
Yes. CeraVe Baby Wash is accepted by the National Eczema Association and pairs well with a follow-up ceramide moisturizer to lock in hydration as part of a complete post-bath barrier care routine.
I want to build a gentle wellness routine for my baby. Where does this fit in?
It fits as the cleansing step in a soothing bath ritual, ideally followed by a ceramide-rich moisturizer within a few minutes of drying off to seal in hydration and support the skin barrier.
Is this wash good for a baby's first bath or as part of a newborn care routine?
Yes. The gentle, tear-free, fragrance-free formula is appropriate for newborn bathing and integrates well into a minimalist newborn care routine centered on comfort and skin barrier support.
Does this wash help with the wind-down transition before bedtime?
Many parents use a warm, gentle bath with CeraVe Baby as a cue to transition from play to sleep, since the predictable, soothing bath routine signals the body that it is time to wind down.
How does CeraVe Baby Wash compare to using just water for sensitive baby skin?
While water alone is gentle, it does not remove milk residue, sweat, or diaper-area buildup. CeraVe Baby cleanses effectively while still being mild enough for daily use on sensitive skin, thanks to its ceramide-supporting, fragrance-free formula.
Is CeraVe Baby Wash better than other gentle cleansers for a sensitive-skin wellness routine?
Compared to many gentle cleansers, CeraVe Baby adds 3 Essential Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin E to actively support the skin barrier, and it carries the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance for added credibility.
Is this a true wellness product or just a basic baby wash?
CeraVe Baby goes beyond a basic wash by combining a mild surfactant system with barrier-supporting ceramides, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and soothing vitamin E, which makes it a more intentional choice for a daily skin wellness routine.
My baby has eczema. Will a daily bath make it worse, or can this actually help?
Short, lukewarm daily baths with a gentle, ceramide-supporting wash like CeraVe Baby are generally recommended by dermatologists for eczema-prone skin, followed by a moisturizer to lock in hydration within three minutes of patting dry.
I am overwhelmed by baby product choices. Is this a safe, minimalist option?
Yes. The 2-in-1 formula means one bottle replaces separate body wash and shampoo, the ingredient list is intentionally short of irritants, and it is accepted by the National Eczema Association, which simplifies decision-making for new parents.
How do I use CeraVe Baby Wash and Shampoo during bath time?
Wet your baby's hair and skin with warm water, apply a small amount of CeraVe Baby Wash to your hand or a washcloth, gently massage into hair and body, rinse thoroughly, and pat skin dry. Follow with a ceramide baby moisturizer within three minutes for best results.
How much CeraVe Baby Wash should I use per bath?
A small coin-sized amount is enough to cleanse both hair and body thanks to the 2-in-1 formula. You can use a bit more for toddlers with longer or thicker hair if needed.
Do I need to use a separate conditioner after CeraVe Baby Wash?
No. The gentle, tear-free 2-in-1 formula is designed to cleanse fine baby and toddler hair without leaving it tangled or stripped, so most families do not need a separate conditioner. If hair is extra long or curly, a leave-in ceramide detangler can be used sparingly.
Is CeraVe Baby Wash compatible with CeraVe Baby Lotion and other CeraVe Baby products?
Yes. CeraVe Baby Wash is designed to work alongside the CeraVe Baby Lotion and Moisturizing Cream, which both contain ceramides, so you can build a complete, barrier-supporting routine for bath time and post-bath care.
Is this baby wash compatible with eczema cream or prescription ointments?
Yes. CeraVe Baby Wash is generally compatible with over-the-counter eczema creams and prescription ointments. Use the wash first, rinse, pat dry, and then apply the treatment or barrier cream as directed by your pediatrician or dermatologist.
What comes in the box when I order CeraVe Baby Wash?
Your order includes one bottle of CeraVe Baby Wash & Shampoo in the size you selected (8 oz or 16 oz), with a flip-top cap for easy one-handed use during bath time. No additional accessories or tools are included or required.
Is CeraVe Baby Wash safe if it gets into my baby's mouth or eyes?
The formula is tear-free and fragrance-free, designed not to sting eyes, and is not intended to be ingested. As with any cleanser, rinse thoroughly with water if it enters the eyes, and keep the bottle out of reach of children when not in use.
How should I store CeraVe Baby Wash to keep it fresh and effective?
Store the bottle at room temperature, keep the cap closed when not in use, and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a very hot or cold environment. There is no special refrigeration required.
What is the difference between a baby wash and a regular body wash?
Baby washes like CeraVe Baby are formulated with milder surfactant systems, are typically fragrance-free, and avoid harsh ingredients like sulfates, parabens, dyes, and phthalates. They are also often tested for tear-free use and may include skin-barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides that regular body washes do not contain.
