Crunchy moms report here.

What do you do for shampoo for your kids? I am not super impressed by California baby or Burt's bees. We use dr bronners for body wash. I know a lot of the crunchy sites use that as the base for shampoo too but it's not tear free and that would probably not end well. Halp.

I also use the California baby shampoo and don't love it. I keep seeing good reviews for Earth MamaAngel Baby I believe it is. I might look into that, but I will be watching to see if anyone has suggestions.

That brand is a Castile base so not tear free.

Whatever soap/shampoo they are willing to let near their head. We aren't picky about it. If they are willing to let me put it on their head with no screaming I count it as a win. Even if it's some random body wash. 

I am thinking about going no-poo for myself. And when I think about it, I wonder if they would do better with no-poo as well. 

I guess I am no help. Although I have also heard good things about EMAB.

I just use water on DD and for DS I use Dr. Bronner's

We've been using a lot of babyganics.  I refilled their foaming cleaner with 1/3 dr bronners and 2/3 water and use it for body wash and then we're still using a different bottle of babyganics as shampoo.

In checking out the reviews of earth mama I found this stuff and the ingredient list looked good. Anyone try this? https://www.amazon.com/Lafes-Baby-Foaming-Shampoo-Fragrance/dp/B001KYEZ24/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1394988017&sr=1-1&keywords=lafes+baby+shampoo+&+body+wash

That looks good. I like it has minimal ingredients. Hmmm maybe something worth a try.

I think we have babyganics at the moment. I sometimes use one I can only find at Wal-Mart, but I can't think of the name.

Earth Mama Angel Baby is what they gave us in the hospital so we used it for awhile. It did smell really good. But once she got older we had to stop because it isn't tear free. We use Burt's Bees now. But bathtime is a battle so I am not that picky, sometimes I use my shampoo.

We use Burt's Bees.  We used to use the Body Shop line but it was discontinued.

We use California baby. I didn't like it at first because it made her hair oily, but I found if I lather it on a washcloth first and then washer her hair, it works much better.

I like Aleva Naturals berry bubble bath. I found it at Target, but it might be just a Canadian brand.

I know some of you use the Honest Company line. I only scanned the ingredients but I got a twin pack at Costco. It's hair/body wash. I got two 17.5oz bottles for $11.

we're using this now. it's fine, doesn't dry him out & smells nice, but i swear it's not tear free. DS has started screaming when it gets on his face/eyes. he didn't react like that to California Baby or Johnson's (which i've used in a pinch.) been meaning to google to see if others have noticed this as well.

dizzycooks

I'm still using up the Johnson's natural stuff we got at our baby shower two and a half years ago. Clearly I don't bathe my child often enough and I shampoo her hair even less...

We use Babo Botanicals. It smells lovely and leaves his hair soft and shiny. We use Babyganics bubble bath because it's cheap and I can get it at Target.
