What soap, shampoo and lotion do you use for your DD? I know you take a close look at the EWG recs and I just feel like cheating and asking you

I'm a product junkie, we're always trying new stuff.  Right now my faves are:

Shampoo/Body Wash: Earth Mama Angel Baby (rated a 0 on EWG database) - this is scented, but with essential oils.  It's NOT tear free.  This brand is consistently rated very well (all 0s or 1s) in the database.

When we're having a rough time with baths I use Yes To Baby Carrots Foaming Shampoo and Body Wash.  It's rated a 3, but sometimes DD totally freaks out when I try to rinse her hair and it's a lot easier to rinse out than anything else we've tried.  It's all about balance

I like Nature's Baby Organics Lavender and Chamomile Conditioner, and will probably try their shampoo next.

We have some of the old formula California Baby Lotion that we're using up and I love it, but the new formula isn't as good.  They've replaced some of the ingredients (and EWG is still listing the old recipe!) and I'm losing trust in the brand   I'll probably switch to using the same sweet almond/jojoba oil mix that I use on myself.  It works wonderfully, but definitely makes LO slippery!  Not to be used anywhere near the bathtub.  

You can also make your own lotion bars using wonderfully natural stuff like beeswax, shea and coconut butters, and oils if you're up for a project.

Cool, thanks! Where do you get the Earth Mama Angel Baby wash? I think I've seen it on Amazon, but do you buy it locally?

No problem

They usually have it at Baby Earth, but I got a better deal on a 2 pack at Amazon.  I haven't seen it anywhere else locally.

Can I butt in? What products do you use on yourself? I'm trying to switch to more natural stuff for myself but would love some recs. I use the Say Yes the Blueberries daily face lotion and I like that but haven't tried their other products.
