What do you use to wash your baby? Like most parents I use the old fashioned Johnson’s and Johnson’s Head to Toe Baby Wash. How can I not use something that costs a mere dollar at most retail stores? They give it to you free at the hospital. You get a million bottles at baby showers. I’ll be honest, this is what I’ve used on my son and this is what I currently use on my newborn. But what’s in these traditional baby washes?
I found this on the J&J website:
Ingredients: Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, PEG-150 Distearate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sodium Chloride, Polyquaternium-10, Fragrance, Quaternium-15, Citric Acid
I was given a sample of the ECO store USAs Baby Body Wash so I tried it. It’s not normally something I would splurge on (unlike the Baby Nappy Balm) at $10 a bottle but after comparing ingredient lists I might consider it. Here is the ingredient list of the Baby Body Wash:

I guess I need to consider their health and not my pocket book

March 30, 2009 at 1:04 pmI also have been using Johnson’s baby wash head to toe on my babies! It smells good and is priced right! But I would love to try this baby wash and I would spend the extra money on it because it’s earth friendly and very safe for my baby!
Have a lovely day!
