Best natural products for your baby

As you’re already well aware, there are thousands upon thousands of beauty products out there for women. And while the scale may not be as big when it comes to products for your little one, there are still so many that it can be daunting and confusing to know which ones to buy.

So we thought we’d lend a helping hand and highlight a few of our favourite baby products. Our focus today: natural baby products. Products that are free from the nasties (like petrochemicals and sulphates) and are chockfull of natural or organic ingredients that care for your baby’s delicate skin.

Natural body wash for your baby

Chamomile, lavender, rosehip, jojoba and essential oils sound like a pretty luxurious combo, right? Natural Instinct Baby Bath Wash contains all these (plus more) to ensure your baby’s skin is cleansed, nourished, and refreshed. Oh, and we won’t tell if you sneak some into your own bath time.

Natural shampoo for your baby

Avado Organics Baby Naturals Shampoo ($11.99, avadoorganics.com) is made from a blend of organic avocado, organic jojoba and German chamomile oils to keep that teeny-tiny head of theirs well looked after. It ensures your bub’s scalp is hydrated and supple and their hair luxuriously soft.

Natural multi-tasking bath product for your baby

Make bath time that much easier with Nature’s Care Baby Paw Paw Shampoo and Body Wash ($9.66, Woolworths), the cleanser that will have your baby clean from top-to-toe. The soap-free, pH-balanced formula will keep your little one’s skin soft and nourished and their hair silky smooth.
