The Honest Company Shampoo + Body Wash
Kelly R said: I love that this natural baby product simplifies bath time, as you can use it as a body wash and for hair care. It's gentle but appropriate for the whole family, and made without harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances. Costco can sell big bottles at a great price. No animal testing.
Water Wipes
Brigitte Nohra Miller said: Since our baby had very sensitive skin, we tried different brands until we started to use Water Wipes. The result was amazing and the rash disappeared so quickly! The wipes are made 99.9 % with water and 0.1% fruit extract and are approved by the National Eczema Association. We also use them on the kids’ hands and face as they are safe. I highly recommend them.
Shea Moisture Baby Wash & Shampoo
Laila Talley said: I recommend the Raw Shea Chamomile & Argan Oil Baby Wash & Shampoo for the whole family. I am sensitive to the chemicals added in most other shampoos, so I use this on my own hair. It gives the best result for adding volume and giving my hair a very healthy shine. No animal testing.
Aveeno Baby Wash & Shampoo
Alexandra F. said: Our pediatrician recommended this baby wash for our first baby who had very sensitive skin, and after 14 years and three more babies, we still haven't found another we like more! It's gentle, lightly scented and tear-free, and free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. Plus, it's easy to find at most big retail stores as well as online.
Aquaphor
Alexandra F. said: I am not joking when I say we keep a jar of Aquaphor in just about every room in our house. Our two youngest kids had terrible eczema as babies and all of us have sensitive skin, but lots and lots of Aquaphor (and CeraVe cream) throughout the day are what keep the eczema and dry skin in check. It is also great for preventing diaper rash and protecting minor scrapes. It's preservative and fragrance free, and is the skin care product that has been most consistently recommended to us by the kids' doctors over the years.
Earth Mama Calming Lavender Baby Wash
Earth Mama baby wash is a gentle foaming castile-based soap and includes calendula extract, kosher vegetable glycerin, organic shea butter, and organic aloe leaf juice. It leaves baby's hair and body clean and soft and rinses easily without any residue. Great for the whole family to use, too!
Hip Peas Cradle Cap Care
Kelly R said: This natural and effective remedy uses olive oil, jojoba oil, sunflower seed oil and vitamin E to soothe and moisturize baby's scalp and clear cradle cap. Just apply a small amount of the oil and massage – the gentle formula adheres to flakes for easier removal with a brush. No animal testing.
Earth Mama Calming Lavender Baby Lotion
Yoli B said: Earth Mama products are all natural and will take you from prenatal skincare for moms through bath time for babies and kids. The Calming Lavender Baby Lotion is toxin-free and contains organic ingredients like rooibos, calendula, herbs and oils. The lotion is gentle for your baby's skin and a perfect addition to the nightly bath time routine!
Attitude Eco Wipes
Laila Talley said: Finally, a wipe that does not irritate our son's skin! We use fragrance free whenever we can to make sure there are no added chemicals. No animal testing.
