Safe baby bath products?

What baby bath products do you use? I've been reading that many Johnson & Johnson products contain carcinogenic ingredients.

    Yikes! I use Aveeno baby, but I still feel like it's too chemically. I'd love to use Burt's Bees or Dr. Bronner's if they weren't both a bajillion dollars. We do clear water baths sometimes, too.

    We use California Baby bodywash. Most kids don't need lotion or any of the other fancy stuff anyway.

    Oh, or Dr Bronner's Baby.

    Dr Bronner's is the only thing we use.  We got a big bottle of unscented/baby for I think $13, and I haven't even gone through 1/2 an inch in 6 months.  

    Oh actually, someone gave us a sampler of Earth's Best and I've used the lotion and sunscreen a couple of times.  I think they are known for baby friendly ingredients, although I've got no idea of the price.

    What's expensive about Dr. Bronner's? A huge bottle is usually like $6, and a bar is less than that and lasts forever.

    Ditto! The bottle lasts forever and you can use it for just about anything.

    We generally use Dr. B's or CA Baby. Occasionally I try out another brand but it always comes back to those two.

    Dr. B's Lavender.  The bottle itself may be expensive, but you just have to do what he says: "Dilute! Dilute! Dilute!"  and it lasts forever.

    We used CA Baby when the kiddos were smaller, now we use Yes To Carrots (the baby/kids version).  It is more expensive, but a little goes a long way.

    We have been using the Burts Baby Bees. Dh signed up for the subscribe and save on Amazon mom and it came out much cheaper than buying it in the store. Once we get low though on this bottle, I need to price out what it would be to switch to Bronners.

    I use Burts Bees from Target.  It's maybe $8 and I buy one every few months (bath every other day).  But the Dr. Bonners looks awesome, may try that next time.

    I first did my little research on what are the bad chemicals and since then I use nothing but natural/organic products for LO. We use CA Baby right now. It can feel a little pricey but I personally don't care about it. Money is only an issue in the absence of value IMO.

    We use Aveeno Natural right now.  I have gallons of Dr. Bronner's Baby in my cleaning supplies (I use it in my own body wash), so I'll be using that with her once the Aveeno is gone.
