The 5 Best Eco-Friendly Soaps on Amazon

Bath time is one of the most important routines for your baby and stating eco-friendly is really important. Not only will it keep your little one clean, but it’s also meant to be a relaxing activity that can prepare them for bed or set their mood for the day ahead. Of course, as parents, we want to make our baby’s bath time comfortable, which is why we avoid soaps and shampoos that can cause irritation or burning sensations, especially when it comes to their eyes.

To make sure that our babies have the best bath times, we must carefully choose products that won’t harm their sensitive skin. This is especially important for babies who might be prone to eczema or have cradle caps. In this case, eco-friendly soaps and shampoos can be a good option in calming and soothing your baby’s delicate skin. After all, eco-friendly products don’t have harmful chemicals, and they can effectively cleanse your baby’s skin without being harsh. The best part is, most of these soaps can also double as shampoos, so you don’t need to buy a separate bottle. When shopping in Amazon, look out for the following eco-friendly soaps that your baby will surely appreciate:

The Honest Company Calming Lavender Shampoo + Body Wash

This two-in-one formula from The Honest Company is gentle enough for daily use as it can nourish your baby’s skin without drying it out. Made without parabens, dyes, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, or formaldehyde donors, The Honest Company’s Calming Lavender Shampoo + Baby Wash is also tear-free, ensuring that your baby’s eyes won’t get irritated if you use it to clean them from head to toe. Its thick, creamy lather will also leave your baby’s skin and hair looking and feeling healthy. You don’t have to worry about suds or residue either as this shampoo and baby wash combo can be easily rinsed away.

Babyganics Baby Shampoo and Body Wash

Another product formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, artificial fragrances, or dyes, the Babyganics Baby Shampoo and Body Wash also doesn’t include mineral oil or petrolatum, which can cause irritation. Its plant-derived ingredients are non-allergenic and extra mild, as well as tested by both pediatricians and dermatologists for extra safety. Its soft, thick, but gentle foam can instantly cleanse your baby without leaving any residue. This product also comes in a pack of three, which can let you save a few bucks.

Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Shampoo and Wash

With its natural, plant-based cleansing formula, Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Shampoo and Wash also includes soy proteins that can naturally moisturize your baby’s skin. Not only is it gentle, tear-free, and non-irritating, this shampoo and wash combo also has a fresh scent that leaves your baby’s skin clean, soft, and smelling delicious! Like other eco-friendly baby soaps, Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Shampoo and Wash is also tested by pediatricians and is clinically proven to be safe for daily use. It also does not include phthalates, petrolatum, or parabens, and it’s 98.9% made from natural origins.

Puracy Natural Shampoo and Body Wash

Winner of The Bump’s “Best Baby Shampoo” award and cited as the “Best Toddler Shampoo” by Business Insider, Puracy’s Natural Shampoo and Body Wash is made of 99.5% natural ingredients such as vegan cleansers, fruit and vegetable-derived moisturizes, and sea salt that can purify and balance your baby’s pH levels. It doesn’t include harmful ingredients such as cocamidopropyl betaine, sulfates, salicylates, parabens, petroleum-based ingredients, animal by-products, perfumes, or dyes.

Its plant-based ingredients consist of coco glycinate, a coconut-based surfactant that doesn’t disrupt the outer layer of the skin and produces fluffy foam that leaves your baby’s skin fresh, soft, and moisturized; vegetable glycerin, a coconut-based skin softener; and pink Himalayan salt, which naturally hydrates, exfoliates, and balances your baby’s skin. Aside from being plant-derived, Puracy’s Natural Shampoo and Body Wash is also gluten-free, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable. 

Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Liquid Soap

Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Liquid Soap is made with over 90% of organic ingredients, 70% of which are certified fair trade, which means that these were obtained from places with ethical working conditions and fair prices. Because of its all-natural ingredients, this castile soap is fully biodegradable and does not contain synthetic preservatives, thickeners, or foaming agents that can pose a threat to both your baby and the environment.

Because it’s three times more concentrated than liquid soaps, Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Liquid Soap should be diluted and kept away from your baby’s eyes to prevent irritation. Aside from being used to wash your little one, this soap can also serve other uses, such as a laundry soap, all-purpose cleanser, dish soap, for pet care, and more.

As the company also has a sustainability mission, all its bottles are packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, thus minimizing landfill waste.

With these five eco-friendly soaps on Amazon, you can have your pick of the best bath time companion for your baby while keeping the environment safe. Just to be absolutely sure, make it a point to test the soaps first on yourself before letting your little one try it.
