6 Best Baby Body Wash (Review) in 2021

This used to be one of my favourite baby products to use around bedtime and will be again when my second little boy is born soon. I absolutely love the calming lavender smell that comes with Johnson’s Baby Bedtime Bath. The scent fills the room with a dreamy smell that lets baby know that the bedtime routine has started. Johnson’s state that it is proven to help your baby sleep better and I can confirm that it certainly helped my first born relax.

It is free from parabens, phthalates, soap and dye. The no more tears formula is intended to be gentle to baby’s eyes.

If you are using a baby bath, one capful is all you need, or for a full-size bath, use 3 capfuls. Pour the baby wash into warm water and mix it well.

This is available in 300ml and 500ml bottles. Therefore, you can try the 300ml first to see how the Johnson’s body wash works for you. For extra effect, follow baby’s bath time with a baby massage using Johnson’s bedtime lotion.

Aveeno is a popular brand that is available in most supermarkets and health stores. Aveeno is also often recommended by doctors for little ones who suffer with eczema; I know this because my doctor recommended it for my son. It really did contribute well to improving his dry and sore skin. This could be down to its gentle formula which has been designed to minimise the risk of allergies. Allergies, particularly from dust can be a major cause of eczema.

This baby wash is soap free and the oatmeal extract leaves baby skin feeling hydrated and soft.

Use your hands or a washcloth to apply this product to your baby’s skin. You can also pour it directly into bath water and mix it in. Lather and rinse thoroughly.

The Aveeno baby daily care gentle wash in a 500ml bottle is excellent value for money. It is generally long-lasting, but the length of time it lasts depends on whether you are pouring a little directly onto baby’s skin or a larger amount into the tub.

This baby body wash gives you complete peace of mind that you are using a product with 100% natural ingredients.

Packed full of goodness from citrus fruits, aloe vera, plants, and many more, this baby body wash not only nourishes your baby’s skin but also contains natural antibacterial properties.

As you can tell in my other recommendations, I love a good scented product and this one did not disappoint; the orange neroli and lavender essential oils are a lovely combination and left my little one’s skin feeling soft and smelling beautiful.

Nanny’s Naturals comes in an easy pump bottle making it easy to get this body wash out with one hand.

Apply a small amount into your hand and create a lather by massaging it into baby’s skin.

This is my most premium recommendation for a 250ml bottle, but if you do pride yourself on using 100% natural ingredients only, this is a gorgeous baby bath product to invest in. This also comes with a 100% money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied.

Approved with a Mother and Baby Award, the Earth Friendly Baby contains 99.2% of natural ingredients. I love this baby wash as the natural botanical ingredients are not only kind to baby’s skin, but they also support the environment with a Vegetarian and Vegan friendly formula.

As stated in the name, this Earth Friendly Baby product has multipurpose use; it combines as a shampoo and bodywash, meaning less baby products required which promotes a tidier bathroom and a happier parent. The lavender scent is ideal for a calming bedtime bath.

Pour a small amount into your hand or onto a cloth and massage into baby’s body and hair. Then rinse. Repeat baby’s shampooing as required and ensure the product has been thoroughly rinsed out.

This 250ml bottle is a more premium purchase but you can not only be confident that it is dermatologically tested but also that it has been awarded with a Mother and Baby Award because of its high quality. You also get the guilt-free reassurance from purchasing a product with environmental consideration.

Childs Farm is another popular brand available in most supermarkets and heath stores. The company famously went viral last year for its fast-acting moisturising treatment on a child suffering with eczema, and the baby body wash has just as many positive reviews. I love this baby body wash as it is intended for newborn sensitive skin and babies who are prone to eczema which my little boy was and still is.

The Childs Farm Baby Wash is paediatrician and dermatologist recommended. What’s more it has a whole matching range of sensitive skin products that you can purchase with the body wash, including bubble bath and shampoo.

Pour a dollop into your hand or onto a cloth and massage into baby’s body and hair. Ensure you rinse thoroughly. If applying the product to baby’s hair, repeat the process as necessary.

For a 250ml bottle, this might not seem as good value for money as the Johnsons. However, you can be confident this is a high-quality product which has been thoroughly researched and tested to specifically improve sensitive skin.

The Burt’s Bees Baby Shampoo and Wash has 98.9% natural plant-based ingredients specifically intended for non-irritation of baby’s skin. I love how the mild, tear free formula was actually tear free with my little one. Usually a lot of shampoos and body washes claim to be tear free, but you soon discover different. The natural formula is without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS. It is paediatrician and dermatologist tested without animal testing.

I have never used an apricot scented shampoo or wash before, and I was surprised by how much I like it. It is very light and fresh, leaving baby’s skin to smell delicious without an overpowering scent.

Apply a small amount on baby’s hair and skin and create a lather by gently massaging it in. Rinse out thoroughly.

Burt’s Bees Baby Shampoo and Wash in a 235ml bottle, is my mid-range budget recommendation. As well as the environmental and testing benefits that ensure this product cares for gentle baby skin, I was really drawn to the mild, fresh scent of this body wash and I even used it on myself.
