Your little bundle of joy is here, and you want nothing but the best for your baby. You are careful not to use harmful chemical-laden products for the baby- be it the clothes the newborn wears, the detergent that is used to wash the clothes, or the skin care products that are massaged on the baby’s skin. But with so many products in the market, that claims to be organic, natural, and safe for your baby, how to choose which one to use. Well, help is on hand. In my previous two articles, I have listed top baby cream and laundry detergent you can safely use for your baby. And in this blog, I would list the 5 best baby wash that not only cleanses the impurities gently but keep your baby’s sensitive skin nourished during bath times.
Let’s begin with what qualities to look for while purchasing the baby wash.
- Organic/Natural: Look for an organic baby wash, which means it should not contain any chemical-laden or toxic ingredient, instead have the mildest ones. Or go for “Natural” whose ingredients come from plants.
- Hypoallergenic: The product should be devoid of any skin irritants. Since the baby’s skin is sensitive and thinner than adults, it absorbs the ingredients of products easily, so care should be taken the product doesn’t cause any allergy.
- Fragrance: It’s always better to have a fragrance free or a product that has a clean scent, i.e., a scent derived from the extracts of plant-based fragrant ingredients.
- Tear-free: The baby wash should be a “no-tear formula”; it should not irritate eyes and should be skin-friendly.
- The make and price of the body wash: The baby wash bottle should have a pump dispenser to avoid wastage and it should be budget-friendly too.
My top 5 Baby washes:

Kids’ skin needs extra care, and I used to check the organic ingredients before getting one for my little one, this list is going to help a lot!!
Among this list mother sparsh plant powered baby wash sounds most amazing to me. I had used their other products and had a good experience with them.
Organic and natural products are the best for babies. You have shared some great product options. I have tried mother sparsh but not others
I’ve used Himalaya and Mother Sparsh for my kids and both these brands have my vote. A good baby wash is important for baby’s sensitive skin.
