What brand of Baby Soap and Lotion?

What brand of soap and lotion are you going to use on LO? We cant decide if we want to go organic or just use JJ or Aveno.  Would love to hear what you use or will use and why.

Re: What brand of Baby Soap and Lotion?

  • I used the skin deep database (it looks like it's down right now) to research a bunch of different kinds. It gives a green/yellow/red rating based on chemicals.

    We went with Burt's Bees fragrance free soap/shampoo. Smells good and is really gentle and easy to find in stores.

  • Burt's Bees has a tear free baby shampoo that is also a body wash. It smells amazing and is gentle. I always thought Johnson and Johnson was good but not so much. They have nasty ingredients. And I am pretty sure they own Aveeno.

    DS has sensitive skin like me, so we use Babyganics.nbsp; It works great and cleaned up his baby Escema right away.nbsp; We started with Aveeno and then there was a recall on the exact thing we had, and DS was starting to show the escema so we switched before DS was even a month old and have been very happy with Babyganics.nbsp; We use their lotion, soap, bubble bath, and sunblock!

    This for us too! Babyganics is amazing!

  • DS has eczema. We started with Burt's bees, but it was too harshly we now use baby aquaphor soap and California baby sensitive skin lotion.

  • We use the Mustela body wash/shampoo, and just use Eucerin cream in the big tub as lotion. 
  • We used the regular JJ stuff and never had any issues.
  • I bought a bunch of stuff before LO was born and can't use any of it, because he has very sensitve skin and can only use fragrance free.

    So now I use Aveno and Johnsons Natural.

  • I use any brand that does not contain parabens or artificial fragrance. Have liked Seventh Generation "Wee Generation", Babyganics, Episencial and others. A little goes a long way, so I get the good stuff that are as natural as possible.

  • We love California Baby! We use Burt's Bee's as well.

  • I used California Baby until they changed the ingredients.  Now we use Burt's Bees soap, Babyganics bubble bath and Weleda toothpaste.  I highly recommend looking at the skindeep and safemama websites.  It's very eye-opening.  They break down why certain ingredients are bad.  Safemama.com will give you the best pics so the research is done for you.  Burt's Bees isn't perfect but it's easy to find and reasonably priced. 

    In general, JJ (which includes Aveeno!!) is terrible as far as toxic ingredients go.  The JJ "Naturals" is no better.  They can write whatever they want on the package but until you start reading ingredients, you won't what's good and what's not.  A few things to stay away from: parabens, phthalates, SLS, fragrance.

  • We love Burt's Bees as well. They just came out with a petroleum-free "Vaseline" type ointment, which I'm really liking as well.

  • We use California Baby. It's good for sensitive skin and has less harmful ingredients.
  • I plan to use California Baby products. I was on a consumer site that rated beauty products and I remember Johnson & Johnson and Medela had the lowest ratings for baby products. Johnson & Johnson also recently got some bad press bc an ingredient they promised to take out years ago was not removed.

    If I remember the name of the site I'll post it. They basically ran products thru a battery of tests and posted the ratings. I found a lot of really good information on all kinds of cosmetic and beauty products that has ultimately affected the way I shop for myself as well as the baby 

    Edited to say I think the site was skindeep like the pp said but it looks like its down

    We use the shampoo and lotion as well and love it.  I chose this after looking at the Skin Deep website.

  • We use Noodle &. Boo.  It's great for babies with sensitive skin and smells amazing. I use a tiny amount (less than a pea size) and it goes a long way.
    SMOOCHES FOR ALL!!!

  • We use Earth Mama Angel Baby now. We used CA Baby in the past, but they changed their formula and were kind of shady about it (it's still actually not horrible, but the bad business practices left a bad taste in my mouth).
