Vernix, also known as vernix caseosa, is a waxy coating which develops on the skin of fetuses, starting around the 20th week of pregnancy. The level of this waxy coating declines over the course of the pregnancy, with full term babies typically having very little vernix, while premature infants may have a thicker layer of this white, waxy substance.
While growing in your womb, your baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid which is designed to protect your baby while it develops. However, floating in amniotic fluid for nine months can be hard on a baby's skin, so the vernix caseosa is designed to protect the skin and keep it moisturised. After delivery you will see for yourself just how soft your baby's skin is. The reason for this softness is vernix caseosa. It has often been thought that the substance has some sort of healing properties and doctors have recently discovered that there are certain proteins in the oils that do, in fact, have antibiotic properties.
