How This Is Calculated
The baby complexion calculator uses a combination of visual assessment and age-based skin characteristics to determine:

- Undertone (warm, cool, neutral)
- Age-appropriate skin sensitivity
The results are based on standard dermatological classifications adapted for infant skin.
Understanding Baby Complexion Types
Baby skin has unique characteristics that differ from adult skin. Here are the main complexion types:
Skin Tone Categories
- Light: Pink or red undertones, often with peach or pink complexion
- Medium: Neutral undertones with a rosy or tan appearance
- Dark: Brown or olive undertones, common in babies with darker skin
Undertone Variations
- Warm: Peach, pink, or golden undertones
- Cool: Blue, pink, or red undertones
- Neutral: Even skin tone without strong undertones
Note: Baby skin tends to be more sensitive than adult skin. Always patch test new products before full application.
