The 7 Best Organic Baby Soap and Shampoo
Have you heard of the 80/20 rule? It is also known as the Pareto Principle. It says that 80% of the result comes from 20% of the effort. The concept is that if you are trying to achieve something then you are going to get to 80 percent of success in that task from just 20 percent of your effort. It is an often-quoted expression on the internet. We feel that it is a reminder for people to get their basics right. You can spend a lot of time poring over the tiniest details of whatever you are working on, but the biggest chunk of the effect you have on it is going to come from a small part of your work.
We bring that up because we have found that this principle even applies to some extent when it comes to raising a child. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to you, but a major part of keeping a baby healthy is hygiene. Just the simple act of keeping your baby clean is going to give you the biggest assurance of its safety. Sometimes, like the Pareto Principle says, you just have to get your basics right.
You can use all the organic and toxin-free products in the world, but if they don’t do their main job of cleaning well, then they are not much use for your baby’s health and well being. With that let us look at the best organic baby soaps and shampoo.
Babyganics Baby Shampoo + Body Wash Pump Bottle, Fragrance-Free
We have seen Babyganics products before in this series of baby products. All of their products are pediatrician and dermatologist tested. It is a cruelty-free product which means that it is not tested on animals. The shampoo has been formulated using only plant-based ingredients. They call their blend of ingredients NeoNourish Seed Oil. It contains tomato seed oil, sunflower seed oil, cranberry seed oil, black cumin seed oil, red raspberry seed oil, cucumber fruit extract, Matricaria flower extract, and avocado fruit extract. It is also 100% free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, artificial fragrances, or dyes.
PURA D’OR All-in-One Baby Wash
This one has been tested by clinical experts to be hypoallergenic, dye-free, and pH-balanced. It will not make your little one cry. As it is fragrance-free, it should work on toddlers that don’t like the strong artificial smells of other baby washes. It is free from dyes, parabens, phthalates, and sulfates. The formula is based on aloe vera with infusions of Lavandin oil, Tangerine oil and Bergamot fruit oil. There is a 100% money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the product.

This baby soap is a pediatrician and dermatologist tested soap. The formula is paraben, sulfate, silicone and phthalate-free. It is also vegan, cruelty, gluten and dye-free.

This baby soap contains the goodness of calendula extracted from the marigold flower which is known for healing wounds, soothing eczema, and relieving diaper rash.

Babyology – All Natural Baby Wash and Shampoo
We really like the concept behind this brand’s products which we have covered before this. The formula is made from 100% edible ingredients such that even if the baby manages to ingest some of it, it wouldn’t hurt your precious baby. There are absolutely no toxins in the formula. It is mostly fragrance-free with just a drop of lavender oil. The formula is based on oat aminos which form a lot of foam which is completely edible. It is however not tear safe so make sure to keep it away from your baby’s eyes.
Everyone 3-in-1 Kids Soap
If you are looking to save a little money but don’t want to compromise on quality for your baby then you can get this 32-ounce bottle of shampoo and body wash. The formula is made from lavender and orange essential oils. The foam is thick and full due to the cleansers derived from coconut oil. There is an organic herbal blend of aloe, chamomile, calendula, and white tea extracts used to enrich the baby’s skin on use. The bottle is non-GMO verified, gluten-free, recyclable, cruelty-free and with absolutely no synthetic fragrance. This is great for those on a budget.
Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash
You knew Burt’s Bees Baby was going to show up on this list! They are such a dedicated and high-quality baby brand that we trust their products wholeheartedly. This mild and tear-free baby shampoo is made from soy proteins which are known for their natural moisturizing properties. The soap is formulated without phthalates, parabens, petrolatum, or SLS. If you are looking to stick to one brand for all your baby hygiene products then this one is a great choice as the rest of the product range is very appealing too.
There has never been such a wide range of possibilities available for parents looking to take care of their young ones. You can pick products that are an exact match to not only your smell preferences but also based on how thick you want the foam to be or how appealing the packaging is. You can always trust us to give you a complete picture and recommend only the best for your baby. What a time to be alive!
