California BabyCalifornia Baby Calendula Shampoo and Body Wash | 100% Plant-Based (USDA Certified) | Allergy Friendly | Soothing Baby Soap and Toddler Shampoo for Dry, Sensitive Skin | 562 mL / 19 fl. oz.Natrue

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.

This California baby bubble bath is perfect for us! It’s a bubble bath, body wash and shampoo all in one. The scent is soothing and calming and is made with all natural ingredients. It’s great for sensitive skin.

I am using California Calendula cream, body lotion, and finally this body wash. I used other brand that has too strong scent and inexpensive one. I love California products because my baby had so much benefits from this brand.

This shampoo & bodywash smells great and is very concentrated so it lasts for awhile. If it gets in my son’s eyes, he doesn’t complain (like he did with a different organic brand I purchased at the grocery store). The pump is high quality and doesn’t get stuck. The only negative for me is the price. I wish it was less expensive. I just tell myself that it lasts a long time and it’s a healthy product for my children - so it’s worth it!

I love that you only need a very small amount to wash hair and body. It smells amazing and is so gentle on my child's skin. I have even used a pump for bubbles in the bath tub and it made so many.So happy I found a clean ingredient and gentle children's shampoo. This small bottle will last us awhile too so I don't mind paying more than a store brand.

I previously had used the Unscented California Baby body wash and shampoo duo, but was really interested in trying the Calendula kind this time around because I enjoyed the scent of California Baby's Calendula lotion and enjoyed the proposed healing properties of Calendula.Still, I haven't found this product much better than the unscented version and next time around will probably just stick with the regular, unscented one.If you are concerned about the price, that's understandable but I can tell you that this product will last for months and months (and months!).My primary reason for supporting California Baby is that it is an extremely "clean" product line from a ingredient safety standpoint. According to the EWG SkinDeep database, this bodywash (and the aforementioned "Unscented" bodywash) score a "1", which is the safest product rating you can receive. Unfortunately, when it comes to body care, companies can legally use nearly any ingredients they wish without restriction. Many of these ingredients may provide the desired beauty results, but with a host of undesirable side effects (like being carcinogenic!). The price of this product is worth it to be on the safe and gentle side, though I would personally recommend the Unscented.Enjoy!

It took me a while to write this review because when I first used this soap I wasn't into the smell. It has kind of a lemon-type cleaning smell that I didn't care for at first. But, after a few weeks of use the scent grew on me and I was finding myself using this shampoo all of the time! I have also noticed that this product leaves my baby really clean and his skin is so soft after each use. I love this product so much, I got California Baby conditioner, which is also great! I am really addicted to this stuff and will never buy another Johnson & Johnson baby product (not that they're bad, it's just I like California Baby a lot better!!!). Despite the high-price, the bottle has lasted me a good 5 months and I use a lot every day. The pump is also great, epically with my squirmy 8 month old!

Unlike the other shampoos made by the same company this product does not cause scalp itchiness. Hair is left soft and clean. Excellent!!
