Levels of total natural moisturizing factor (NMF), histidine (His), pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA) and sum of trans‐urocanic acid (UCA) and cis‐UCA in the stratum corneum of children (median with interquartile range) in different age groups [< 48 h (n = 18), 48 h – 4 weeks (n = 18), 1–11 months (n = 41), 12–35 months (n = 25) and 36–72 months (n = 30)] on three body regions. Differences between age groups were determined by Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn's multiple comparisons test. ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01 and *P < 0.05.
