California BabyAromatherapy Shampoo & Bodywash Calendula 8.5 Fl. Oz.

Both of my children had a terrible reaction to the bubble bath, body wash and lotion. Within minutes of sitting in the bath they were scratching and covered in hives. I have never seen my nearly 4 year old son react like this to anything. Had to return the second batch I had ordered. Very suprised after the good reviews I had read.

I bought this about 5 months ago & there is still some left. It's non drying for my 2 boys & cleanses them just right. I tend to change products but I think I will be sticking to this for years to come.

lovely shampoo and wash for bubba! xx

This is an expensive product, but well worth it, I feel ... I've been using this on my now-4.5-year-old since he was a baby. Of the various shampoos and body washes marketed for children as "tear-free" (including other natural and organic brands -- which we generally aim for in all facets of our home life), this one truly matches the claim with the reality. I've tested some other children's "tear-free" brands on myself, letting suds get in my eyes, and was disconcerted to find that they still caused stinging in the eyes. Not all other brands, but definitely some. California Baby brand actually IS tear-free -- no stinging.My son is very sensitive to water and soap getting in his eyes, and this has caused some fear and panic around hair washing (he also doesn't like getting water in his ears, so dunking in tub water is not a possibility). While we ended up finding a technique to use when washing his hair that helps prevent water and drips (and that works for him too, helping to alleviate his fear -- we use a damp washcloth squeezed of most water, folded lengthwise in thirds that we place across his forehead to catch water) -- this shampoo and body wash from California Baby gives me extra peace-of-mind.I also love that you can use it for the whole body AND as a gentle bubble bath that doesn't cause skin irritation or potential stinging in the eyes from water splashing in my son's face during bath play. I use it on myself!! The smell is lovely too -- a calendula base with a gentle lavender scent. To me, the cost is definitely worth supporting a product that is better for both the earth and for my son.

After less than a week of using this daily on my 3 month old, his eczema is almost unnoticed. It went from being scaly, red, and flaky on his face and scalp to just a little flaky (he still claws at his head, but that has diminished). He still has some rough patches on his arms and legs, but I think those will clean up with some more prolonged use of the shampoo as well as the lotion.I had my doubts that this would work at all, but I am so relieved to see the problem visibly disappearing. Also, the smell is light and rather pleasing with the lavender not nearly as strong as several other brands I've tried. It also lathers well (we have very hard water). So far, I'm very pleased to have purchased!
