Baby Soap Review
We have been working on ridding a lot of the unnecessary disposable plastic from our shower for awhile now. Shampoo bottles, body washes and scrubs have been replaced with more natural versions that come in plastic free paper boxes. Overall it has been a pretty stress free & successful transformation. The one area we have been glossing over is the baby soap department. A few years back an aunt gave me literally about a 3 year supply of various baby washes all coming in big ol’ plastic bottles. Not wanting to waste, we’ve been using them up. Now we are finally on the last bottle and it is time to get the munchkins in on the green soap wagon. So far we have tried out two.
Kiss My Face Whale of a Soap Orange U Smart
Price: $5.96 for 2 3.5 ounce whales.
Packaging: Plastic free 100% recycled paper, 100% recyclable.
Product: I love that it is 7 little nontoxic ingredients. My kids love the shape. It comes in a two pack which is good for my little guys. Neither little guy had a reaction to it…which they can to harsher soaps. It seemed to clean well enough. The one thing that would perhaps prevent me from getting this soap again is the strength of the smell. Sweet sassy mallassy they are a little heavy handed with the orange oil over at Kiss My Face. The boys didn’t mind smelling like a citrus grove…but it was a wee much for the one whose got to smell them all day long.
Baby Bee Buttermilk Soap
Price: $4.99 for one 3.5 ounce bar.
Packaging: 80% recycled plastic free paper box. 100 % recyclable.
Product: Again…love the simplicity; 6 natural little ingredients. This soap was much creamier and moisturizing than the Kiss My Face. The boys liked it too….despite being a perfectly unenjoyable round shape. The smell is so soft and clean it makes them smell like babies again. Can I make them use this soap forever?
So despite the significantly higher price, I will be washing the munchkins with Burt. But if you don’t mind people trying to squeeze the juice out of your kids all day, the Kiss My Face Whales work too.
Great pick! I’ve tried just about every kiddie product on the market and LOVE Burt’s the best. My girls have been using it since birth and love it. Happy bathing!
I am on this same quest myself. My 2 are 9 months and 2.5 years old so the no tears issue is a big one. Can you tell me how they fared in that department?
Mine are a little bigger and tend not to get it in their eyes too often…but so far no serious complaints.
