With an endless selection of baby shampoo for those who would just as soon eat them as use them (we’re looking at you, seven-month-old with the sheepish grin) - from the purest to the gentlest, we’ve narrowed down the field…
Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash
Is there anything sweeter than the smell of your baby’s delicate head? Actually, yes. This plant-based cleansing complex with lemon and orange oil. Bon appetit!
Burt’s Bees Baby Bee shampoo & wash; available at www.burtsbees.ca; $9.99
Angel Baby Shampoo & Wash
Made with only natural and organic materials, this gentle castile soap is mild enough to cleanse the most delicate skin and hair – and includes a touch of lavender that soothes fussy babies. We just love a product that multi-tasks as much as we do.
Angel Baby shampoo & wash; available at www.lilou-organics.ca; $15.95
Natural Baby Shampoo
Along with baby acne, (dry) flaky cradle cap should be filed under the category of “just not right.” Help your baby out with this mild, all-natural gel that cleanses the sensitive scalp without stripping its protective oil.
Gaia Natural Baby shampoo; available at www.thebabymarketplace.com; $13.99
Extra Gentle Shampoo
Hypo-allergenic, clinically tested and (most importantly) created by a mom, this nutrient-rich shampoo with milk protein nourishes and conditions hair without harsh chemicals (not to mention the bottle looks like it belongs on a salon shelf).
Noodle & Boo extra gentle shampoo; available at www.noodleandboo.com; $12
Johnson’s Baby Shampoo
Once upon a time there was only one kind of baby shampoo, and every pregnant woman got 47 bottles of it at her baby shower. Guess what? It still works (and won’t break the bank).
Johnson’s Baby shampoo; available at most major retailers; $5.49
