Johnson's Baby

Johnson's Baby Powder was an invention of Dr. Frederick B. Kilmer, company's first director of scientific affairs.

[3] According to Robert Shook, sanitary napkins were included in the young mother's kit but never considered a separate product until customers asked the company for it.

[8] After over 100 years, the company announced on May 20, 2020 that its talc-based Baby Powder would be discontinued in the United States and Canada, following declining sales and backlash from recent lawsuits over allegations that the product contained asbestos, which can cause cancer.

Though these agents are not as effective as traditional soaps, they are extremely mild, which makes them quite literally easy on the eyes and perfect for a baby's sensitive but presumably not-too-dirty skin...

[21] A persistent myth holds that this should in fact be read as "no more tears (/tɛə/)", in the sense meaning a rip in hair, but the correct reading is in fact "no more tears (/tɪə/)" in the sense of ocular secretion, in this case meaning it does not sting eyes if a small amount accidentally enters them, due to the molecular structure of the formula.

[25] In 1976 the brand entered publishing business with the book Infant development program: birth-12 months by Richard A.

[37] In February 2016, J&J was ordered to pay $72 million in damages to the family of Jackie Fox, a 62-year-old woman who died of ovarian cancer in 2015.

J&J claimed that the safety of cosmetic talc is supported by decades of scientific evidence and it plans to appeal the verdict.

"[38] In 2007 Johnson & Johnson sponsored "1st European Round Table meeting on 'Best Practice for Infant Cleansing" (a panel of expert dermatologists and paediatricians from across Europe) focused on the use of liquid cleansers in bathing as opposed to washing with water which said that "bathing is generally superior to washing, provided basic safety procedures are followed, and has psychological benefits for the infant and parents".

[39] A randomized clinical trial, sponsored by Johnson's baby brand in 2010, studied the effectiveness of using moisturizer as part of a standardized skin care regimen.
