Formulated with coconut oil, Johnson's baby lotion helps keep skin soft and feeling healthy from the very first application, leaving skin noticeably smoother and more hydrated after just one use without any greasy residue.
Hypoallergenic and pH Balanced

Allergy Considerations
While Johnson's Baby Lotion is hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested, no product can guarantee zero reaction for every individual. As with any new skincare product, it's recommended to:
- Perform a small patch test on an unaffected area of skin before full use, particularly for babies with known sensitivities or eczema-prone skin.
- Avoid contact with the eyes.
- Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if any redness, rash or irritation occurs.
- Check the full ingredients list on the packaging before use, as formulations can occasionally be updated by the manufacturer.
This lotion is not intended to treat any skin condition and should not be used on broken or infected skin without guidance from a doctor or pharmacist.

- After a warm bath, gently pat your baby's skin dry with a soft towel.
- Apply a small amount of J&J Baby Lotion to your hands and warm it slightly by rubbing your palms together.
- Massage gently over your baby's body, avoiding the eye area, as part of a calming bedtime or daytime routine.
