Summary Skin care is currently experiencing two developments. On the one hand, there is a move away from skin‐affecting additives and an increasing use of physiological ingredients, i.e., substances that are natural to the body or are metabolised by the body without side effects. On the other hand, special attention is being paid to the harmonisation of the individual substances and the overall compositions with the skin microbiome. Phosphatidylserine – a component from the group of phospholipids that has been known for a long time – is establishing itself in skin care and does justice to both developments.

Introduction: The prevalence of atopic diseases remains high. Initial studies suggest that primary prevention with regular basic care may influence the incidence of atopic dermatitis in infants; however, data are unclear. Midwives play an important role in the care of women in the peripartum period and therefore also in providing advice on topics such as skin care, breastfeeding and nutrition of the newborn and young infant. The aim of this study was to determine the care recommendations for newborns by midwives., Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among German midwives using questionnaires on the topic of newborn skin care., Results: A total of 128 questionnaires were analyzed. The most common recommendations were oil-based herbal topicals (34.9%) and plain water (34.0%). Approximately 70% of midwives reported recommending various options when there was a known family history of atopic diathesis. It was remarkable that most of the midwives' recommendations were identical regardless of the presence of an atopic diathesis. Essential care products are only used "when necessary"., Conclusion: Training programs for midwives on the topic of "care and strengthening of the skin barrier", taking into account the current guidelines for allergy prevention, should be implemented., (© 2024.
