Next time you’re doing your weekly shop, head to the baby aisle and check out who's snapping up the baby powder.

A recent Harris Poll conducted by Johnson's® revealed that 40% of adults — guys and girls — regularly use baby products on themselves.

Heather Cabot, a consumer trends expert, said that “more than a third of the consumers using these products don’t even have kids at home.” So why the sudden boom in the baby beauty market?
