Baby & Kids Bathtime Favorites

Five kids later, our bathtubs are excellent testing labs for sudsy paraben and phthalate free options.

Yes, we’re often swayed by exciting packaging (and celebrity buzz) to try fancier potions. And that’s fun. But we always come back to our tried and true.

1. Aubrey Organics Bath Soaks, Soaps & Shampoos. Toddlers love the calming Chamomile bubbles. For sniffly noses or funky moods, Kelly pours in the Eucalyptus. The Baby & Kids Bath Soap and Baby & Kids Shampoo have a cozy, comforting scent.

2. Earth’s Best Organic Lavender Shampoo & Body Wash. We love the lavender.

3. Dr. Bronner’s Organic Baby Mild Soap. We like Baby Mild in liquid and bar soap, sometimes we use it for shampoo too.

4. Weleda Calendula Baby Soap. A mild soap that doesn’t dry out baby skin, even in high mountain climates.

5. Avalon Organics Gentle Tear-Free Shampoo & Body Wash. A great no-tears basic.
