Organic Baby Shampoo

Your baby is a precious gift of life and you will want to do anything you can to make sure that nothing can damage their hair, skin or little eyes.  You want to provide all of the best for your baby and Johnson’s is not doing it any more for you.  With all of the organic products out there are the organic baby shampoos at Babies R Us and other major retailers worth the extra money.  We all realize there are too many chemicals in our environment that contribute to a variety of health problems like allergies, respiratory issues and more.  Trying to keep our babies from getting sensitized to chemicals is one of the most important activities we have.

For a product to be labeled certified organic it must have at least ninety five (95%) certified organic ingredients and to be labeled containing organic ingredients the percentage must be above seventy (70%) percent.  That is impossible with any shampoo or conditioner unless you count the percentage of water in the product.  Luckily for parents of babies there are responsible makers of almost organic baby shampoo which will still clean the baby’s hair while eliminating most of the chemicals that can cause problems with a baby’s delicate exterior.

California Baby makes a Tea Tree and Lavender Body Wash and Shampoo in an 8.5 ounce bottle for just under twelve ($12) dollars.  It works on dandruff, lice, cradle cap and dermatitis.  It is a no tears formula and has no SLS, DEA or numbing agents to cause issues with your baby.  The scent is a combination of lavender and tea tree.  The tea tree has anti bacterial properties and the lavender helps to calm stressed feelings and any irritated skin and scalp.

Another organic baby shampoo is offered by Angel Baby.  Their description touts its being made from a pure gentle castile soap with just enough lavender to calm the user.  It comes in a foaming soap dispenser so you can use it at the bathroom sink as well as the tub.  The product is also a combination body wash and shampoo and they make the point that they only use certified organic ingredients and the product is also certified “vegan”.  This product is in a 5.3 ounce foaming dispenser for $12.95.  Unless your child is hyper allergic to most of the baby shampoo products it is very expensive to use organic baby shampoo when Johnson’s sixteen ounce bottle of baby shampoo is less than $3.
