Gabrielle Union is opening up about some of the biggest baby and child skin-care lessons she's learned since giving birth to daughter Kaavia James in 2018.
and children can present differently in white children and in children of color and how those differences are addressed by mass-market baby and children's skin-care products. "One thing about motherhood, it's full of constant surprises," the actor writes in her caption.
Union begins by talking about what she wishes she had known before Kaavia's birth. "I wish I knew that Black and brown kids have different skin-care needs. Diaper rash looks a lot different on children of color than it does on kids without melanin." Union recounts the first time she saw daughter Kaavia's diaper rash, saying she thought her child was "dying because that's what it looked like.
Union also addresses the lack of diversity in commonly cited studies behind some of the most popular products. "When you look at a lot of the studies, most of those studies are done with groups of babies that are white, so when you see something that is deemed 'the best for all kids,' it's not for all kids; it's kids who don't have the same amount of melanin," she explains. Union urges child-care companies to consider the needs ofbabies and children.
