Organic Baby Shampoo And Body Wash
Just like a baby toothpaste or baby lotions, many baby shampoos also contain toxic ingredients. (Read my other post ‘What Toxic Ingredients To Avoid In Baby Shampoo & Body Wash.’) Although baby shampoo and body wash gets washed away, baby’s skin can still have chemical residues if you don’t wash the shampoo & body wash thoroughly. Also, baby shampoo and body wash is in direct contact with baby’s skin while washing. Therefore, I would like to be careful when choosing baby shampoo & body for my baby. Some of the shampoo & body wash ingredients are highly toxic and they can cause serious health effects such as cancer. I would like to avoid shampoo and body wash that has harmful chemicals and choose the one with natural or organic ingredients that are safe. However, even natural or organic shampoo and body wash sometimes can contain toxic ingredients. Thus, read every ingredient in the ingredient list and decide for yourself if the shampoo and body wash is safe for your baby.
I have listed the best organic baby shampoo and body washes below and they do not contain any of the harmful chemicals. They all have EKG’s Skin Deep potential hazard score of 1. (hazard score 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest) My personal favorite is Babo Botanicals Moisturizing Baby Shampoo & Wash and Angel Mama Angel Baby Body Wash & Shampoo. Now, let’s take a look at these organic baby shampoo & body washes!

Hi
I want to ask about NATURE’S BABY ORGANICS SHAMPOO AND BODY WASH – ORGANIC BABY SHAMPOO AND WASH , contains sodium benzoate and citric acid it is harmful , is not it ?
Hi Manl,
Actually the combination of sodium benzoate and citric acid should be safe. The combination of sodium benzoate (benzoic acid) and ascorbic acid may form carcinogen, benzene.
Hope this helps!
Babo botanical shampoo jas perfume in it. Wondering why did you suggest it is good as ur other article mention not to foe products with perfume. Please advise
Hi Mini,
I wrote this article in 2017 and I was looking at ingredients listed at the Environmental Working Group. Babo Botanical Shampoo (2016 formulation) does not list fragrance as an ingredient there. I do notice that Babo Botanicals Moisturizing Baby 2-in-1 Shampoo & Wash has a natural fragrance. Sorry for the confusion. Now I have listed the Babo Botanicals Sensitive Baby 2-in-1 Shampoo & Body Wash which is fragrance free. Hope this helps!
