Hard water contains calcium and magnesium that react with soap and leave residue on baby skin.
For babies with eczema, this mineral buildup traps irritants, dries the skin, and weakens the protective barrier.
That’s why even gentle baby skincare products may not work in homes with hard water.
Hard water and eczema are closely linked — especially in Canadian households with high mineral levels.
Water softener systems remove hard water minerals and help reduce irritation.
