Science & Safety Standards

Our purpose is to give every baby the healthiest start to life. At JOHNSON’S® Baby, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of safety and quality for your baby. Our products are thoughtfully developed through rigorous scientific research and carefully crafted to be gentle on delicate skin.

Our 5-Step Safety Assessment Process

We're committed to quality and safety, which is why we've developed a thorough process to create our baby products. If a formula fails any step within the process, we go back to the drawing board. It's how we assure we are developing the most gentle baby products for the most delicate skin.

Sourcing raw materials

Safe products start with safe raw materials. That is why we thoroughly vet every supplier and only accept materials from vendors that meet our rigorous quality and safety standards.

Assessing ingredients

The ingredients we receive must be assessed and meet the requirements for safe use in personal care products. We dig below the surface to evaluate impurities and review the latest findings from personal care, food and medicine studies.

Clinical evaluation & testing

Once we create product formulas, we test them with volunteers in a lab setting. Our experts test for every likely issue, including skin and eye irritation. As a result, our safety database includes information on a wide variety of formula reactions that help inform every new formula we make.

Real life use

We test for ways real consumers use our baby products to ensure we provide a delightful usage experience. That starts with actually checking with you! We also test our products in the lab under many scenarios - extreme heat, cold, humidity and more - to triple-check safety, consistency, and quality.

Ongoing evaluation

Even when our finished product is available in your local store, our work isn't done. In addition to watching for new information, we listen to your feedback, whether it's via a customer service call or a social media comment, and make updates when necessary, so that every product we make meets your expectations.

We meet and beat the top regulatory standards in the world.

Every JOHNSON’S® Baby product is designed to meet or exceed the top internationally recognized regulatory standards. We put everything we know into developing our standards: we start with peer reviewed research, we look at the toughest regulations, incorporate best practices, and layer on our additional expertise when we make our JOHNSON’S® Baby products.

Our 5-Step Safety Assessment Process

As a global brand, we care about every baby, everywhere, and that's why we work to stay on top of the latest published science from around the world. Here are a few of the external resources we reference while creating our products:

US Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)

review and assess cosmetic ingredients for safety and publishes findings in peer reviewed scientific literature.

EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS)

Provides documented opinions on health and safety risks of cosmetic ingredients and products.

Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM)

The science behind safety

The science behind safety - our preservatives.
Our preservatives

Preservatives are an essential part of baby and beauty personal care products. Without them, everyday products you have come to rely on could expire within weeks or even days. We only use preservatives with decades of safe use and support from the FDA and the American College of Toxicology

The science behind safety - our ingredients.
Our ingredients

Every touch, every scent, every moment with your baby is precious. That’s why JOHNSON’S® Baby uses safe, gentle ingredients to care for delicate skin – protecting what’s most precious while supporting the beautiful moments of bonding you share.

The science behind safety - our scents and fragrances.
Our scents & fragrances

We hold our gentle fragrances to high standards before adding them to our products. We have set our standards so high that less than 25%* of the aroma compounds used in fragranced consumer products meet them. Plus, our formulators have designed each special blend of fragrances to create memorable experiences and minimize fragrance allergens and irritants. Our formulas are allergy tested to ensure gentleness on babies' delicate skin.
