Most baby skincare products pick one active ingredient and run with it. Ceramide for the barrier. Oat for inflammation. Microbiome support for the skin ecosystem. Each one validated. Each one sold separately.
Gently Baby asked a different question: what happens when you combine all three?
The Science Behind Cera Care Biome Technology
The idea started with a real problem: mothers worried about eczema, rashes, and sensitive baby skin. Gently Baby CEO and Co-founder Nyoman Anjani researched active ingredients gaining traction in dermatology and landed on three: ceramide, oat, and microbiome.
“I thought, what if we combined these three into one unified strength? The results turned out to be very good. And that’s how we ended up patenting this technology under the name Cera Care Biome,” said Anjani.
Baby skin is thinner, more permeable, and still developing. Cera Care Biome was built specifically for that. Here is what each ingredient does:
- Ceramide rebuilds and seals the skin barrier
- Oat soothes inflammation, an FDA-recognized skin protectant
- Microbiome protects the skin’s natural bacterial ecosystem, key to preventing eczema and irritation
Pediatric specialist Dr. Ian Sutedja, Sp.A. validates the approach. “Baby skin is prone to irritation because it is not yet fully developed. Combining all three into one is, in my view, a very good idea.”
Real Research, Real Institution
This is not a celebrity endorsement. Gently Baby formalized a 4-month research partnership with the School of Pharmacy at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). The signing ceremony brought together ITB Rector Tatacipta Dirgantara, Dean of the School of Pharmacy Diky Mudhakir, Anjani, and Dr. Ian Sutedja.
“We are committed to delivering product innovation that is not only gentle, but also clinically proven and suitable for baby and child skin,” said Anjani.
Products carrying the Cera Care Biome Technology formula are expected to launch in April 2026, and will be integrated across the entire Gently Baby product line.
