The truth about bath water and your baby’s skin
If your little one’s skin is easily irritated, red, or dry after bath time you’re not alone.
Many Aussie families don’t realise that tap water often contains chlorine and hard minerals that can strip moisture from delicate skin.
Baby skin is thinner than adult skin, which means it absorbs more of what’s in the water including the chemicals that shouldn’t be there.

Why chlorine and hard water can cause problems
Chlorine is added to our water supply to keep it safe to drink, but it’s harsh on sensitive skin. During a warm bath, chlorine turns into vapour, and your baby’s skin (and little lungs) can absorb it more easily.
You might notice:
• Dry or flaky patches after bath time
• Redness, eczema flare-ups, or itchiness
• Rough-feeling skin, even after using baby lotion
Hard water (rich in calcium and magnesium) can also build up on the skin and make it harder for natural oils to protect against irritation.

How a bath filter helps
A Happy Filter Bath Filter neutralises chlorine and softens the water before it reaches your baby’s skin.
It uses Vitamin C and KDF filtration to gently remove chlorine and heavy metals leaving cleaner, softer water that feels smooth on the skin.
Families often notice:
• Calmer, hydrated skin after a few baths
• Less itching and irritation
• Happier bath times with fewer tears
And because it connects directly to your bath tap, there’s no need for tools or complicated installs just twist on, and you’re ready to go.

Gentle, clean water for the whole family
Your baby’s skin isn’t the only one that benefits. Parents often notice their own hands feel less dry, and their hair feels softer, too.
It’s one of those small home upgrades that quietly makes a big difference every day.
