A new crop of organic baby shampoos and body washes are giving eco-conscious parents a lot to choose from these days. Traditional products contain chemicals that may irritate little one’s skin and scalp. Today’s “green” products, however, are just as effective without containing phthalates, parabens, sulfates or synthetic fragrances. Here’s a look at the latest offerings bringing safer suds to baby’s bath: —
Babo Botanicals Lavender Meadowsweet 3-in-1 Bubble Bath and Shampoo and Wash: Made on a certified organic farm in Upstate New York, the gentle plant-based formula cleans the body from head to toe. Infused with soothing lavender and meadowsweet oil to moisturize skin, the wash is allergy tested and free of diary, soy or nut oil ingredients. The light lavender scent is sure to make this a favorite for moms too ($16.95).
Happy Tangerine Conditioning Detangler from little twig: The hypoallergenic detangler makes post-bath hair brushing stress free. The citrus scented cream smoothes and protects delicate hair, leaving it manageable and soft. Made from essential oils, it’s mild enough for use on newborns and great for the entire family ($10.49).
Baby Shampoo from erbaorganics: The super mild all-natural shampoo is formulated with aloe-based moisturizers to soothe baby’s scalp. The shampoo’s eco-friendly, all natural ingredients include oats, olive oil, lavender and chamomile for a soothing, gentle wash ($12.00).
