Shampoo/body wash

What shampoo/body wash do you use for your DC?  Where do you buy it and how much does it cost?

 

After this J&J lawsuit, I'm rethinking what I use with DD.  I'd like to stay on the "organic" side, but I also don't want to pay $30-40/bottle.  I'd be willing to pay $20 if it will last me a while (DD takes a bath every night).  I had been using California baby, stopped, and just restarted but I think it's causing her to break out in eczema.  We use the "yes to carrots" brand for after bath rubdown, anyone recommend the shampoo?

    We use the unscented California Baby.  We tried Method baby wash/shampoo on DD but she was allergic to it.  We got them both at Target.  I also just bought some Dr. Bronner's unscented castillle liquid soap.  I might try it on DD but not sure it's good as shampoo.  (Or unless anyone says not to use it for some reason...)

    Both kids use Suave for kids.  I buy the white bottle which is no dyes or perfumes.  Its cheap, only a few dollars per bottle.  

    I tried Burt's Bees for awhile but I just can't stand their products.  I want to love them, everything looks so great but they just don't work for us.  Layna's hair was always nasty and she even cried over the lotion.  No idea why, she loves putting on lotion but she hated that stuff.  

    Aveeno makes good stuff, I think.

    we use Earth's Best baby (a devision or Jason's organics). It's less than 10 bucks for a biggish bottle of shampoo body wash and they have bubble bath too, I'm really sensitive to scents and all of the products have been great. They have a super awesome thick body cream as well as an every day lotion.

    babies r us also usually has it on sale.

    J&J owns Aveeno, just so ya know.

    We use Nature's Baby Organics and California Baby.  If you only tried the normal scented stuff by CA Baby it may be worthwhile to give the unscented a shot, we've had good luck with it.

    We use Burt's Bees and I love it for him. It smells delicious too! There is a website around that shows how harmful different products are on a scale, but I can't remember it. Maybe someone has a link? The Burt's Bees we use was really low on that and it was one of the cheaper shampoos on the list, so that's why we use it. The tear free has a higher (worse) rating than the non-tear free version, but he needs the tear free right now.

    Emily has developed a rash from Aveeno, Method, and Burts Bees(my skin hates their stuff too). California Baby was fine but I just never felt like it made my kids smell clean. I didn't want them to have a scent but even after washing I felt like they smelled like wet dog!

    Emily has eczema and it gets bad with milk, egg and nuts.  The only product that I've used on her with no issues is Grandma El's Tear-Free Gentle Baby Shampoo. It's ~$12 a bottle but it's very concentrated and lasts forever. I used to dilute it and put it in a foaming pump for DH but I finally trained him not to use so damn much of it ;). It has a light scent. It has enough softening in it that I can still use it on Abby too which is important since we always give them a bath/shower together. I'll toss a little of my conditioner on Abby's hair if I plan to blow dry her hair (for a wedding etc).

    We use California baby. If we are out we use the kiss my face stuff that ty and I use on them. For body soap we use South Austin Soap People. We usually buy it 10 bars at a time at the farmers market but I think you can order it online too. I absolutely love their soap as it's all natural and smells so good. DD has super sensitive skin and she does well with everything they make. We started using their dog soap about 2 months ago and our dogs are shedding less!
