 Was Expecting Safer Ingredients Aug 28, 2010
By S. Sigley
"plant lady"
EWG would have problems with this formulation because it doesn't state on the ingredients list exactly what "fragrance" is.
I would've liked to have known exactly what was in the bottle before ordering. It states that it's 98% natural. What, exactly, was the other 2%? Undoubtedly it is some kind of preservative. After reading about sodium benzoate, I do not want to use this product anymore. Granted, the hydantoin and parabens are gone from the formula. So, in the interest of informing other consumers, here is the ingredients list straight from the back of the bottle:
Water, decyl glucoside, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, cocoglycerides, sodium coco-sulfate, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium benzoate, cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose, xanthan gum, fragrance, citric acid, sodium hydroxide. 98% derived from coconut, palm and sugarcane.
It is tear-free and it doesn't foam much. The foam almost immediately disappears into a watery feeling clear liquid.

Increased infant excema Aug 23, 2010
By Fathom
"Fathom"
I used this product on my 1 month old twin infants.
While I liked the use of the thick foam, it actually increased the dryness of one of my infant's excema skin. In the end we had to discontinue using the product on this infant and switch to Cetaphil to keep the excema down.
On the non-excema infant we continued using this product but it didn't feel as clean as the standard Johnson and Johnson product, and it definitely dried his skin a lot more causing us to lather on thick baby lotion after his baths.
In the end, I wouldn't reccomend this product for infants. It's better either to stick w/ the standard Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo/wash, and Cetahpil for any infant w/ excema.

Not Very Sudsy Aug 26, 2010
By Darena Dorsey
"Mom to 2 Boys"
First, let me say that this is suppose to be a "Natural" product but most of the ingredients are things that I've never heard of so I'm not too sold on the Natural claim. But mainly my complaint is that this isn't very sudsy. It's a foam wash and normally I like a foam soap but this seems to be so watered down that nothing is left but the foam. No soap just the foam from the soap. It took about a quarter of the bottle for one bathtime for my two kids.
Highly disappointed and do not recommend.

 Nice, light scent, ingredients mostly good, pump ok Aug 09, 2010
By B. Edwards
I can't recommend for or against this product since my usual source for indicated safety in consumer chemicals has not published their data yet. However, I did check ingredient by ingredient to get the relative safety scores, and this does very well for a Johnson and Johnson product (if you compare ingredients with other JnJ products, they are not even similar, so this is not just marketing hype to cater to concerned parents). Even did very well relative to other products (including California Baby), with the worst offender being sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and even that is moderate (3 on a scale from 1 -10, from least to most toxic)
PROS:
Nice, very light scent, doesn't cause me to sneeze like some stronger scented soaps
Ingredients are zero to very low toxicity, with only one (and the last one at that) listed as moderate (very good)
Cost compared to other low tox soaps - blows the "premium" brands out of the water here.
CONS:
Pump is iffy...not enough soap comes out at once imo, and not sure I like a pump for bath soap (though it's not that big of a deal...)
Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to be reamed at the checkout for buying low-tox soap. Compare the price to this with Burt's Bee's or California Baby and you get MUCH more value here, and seems to be safe as well.

 Synthetic chemicals NOT Natural or Organic Jan 23, 2011
By Umesh D. Patel
I did lots of research for Baby Shampoo/wash for our newborn Baby boy and came across this new line of J&J Shampoo (Natural Made).
We received this and other J&J Baby products as a gift.
First of all, I found out that it's not an Organic product just because it's a 'Natural'it doesn't mean it's an Organic.
Furthermore, this product has chemicals like Sodium Hydroxide and Sodium Benzoate.
Sodium Hydroxide is used as a drain cleaner, and Sodium Benzoate is used in fireworks as a fuel in whistle mix.
There are other better shampoos in the market made by small companies like Earth Mama, California Baby etc.
But, so far the best Baby Shampoo/wash I found is Nature's Certified, I tried on my baby and I would say it's an excellent product.
Bottom-line, DON'T use this Synthetic chemicals not 100% natural, safe for Baby or Organic at all.
