When I first had my son, I was horrified when I read the ingredient list of common best-selling baby products. These brands were loaded with chemicals, toxins, endocrine disruptors and the like. I can’t imagine starting a newborn off on a lifelong train of harsh chemicals, especially after my trouble conceiving likely because of exposure to such chemicals in beauty and personal care items I used most of my life.
So, I set out to find the best organic and natural products for my son. No phthalates, no parabens, no BPA, no fragrance.
Here are the best clean baby products that I swear by, and all of them are either verified by EWG or score a 1 or 2.
Babo Botanicals Sensitive Baby Shampoo and Wash: I absolutely love this baby wash, which we bathe my son in nightly. It’s a wash and shampoo that’s completely naturally scented and EWG verified. It’s $16.99.
Babo Botanics SPF 50 Face Sunscreen: This product is EWG certified and safe for newborns. We love this brand all around. $16.99 (PS, we love the entire Babo Botanicals line, which is committed to clean ingredients and is EWG verified. Their baby lotion is also a hit).
Grab Green Natural Baby Detergent: This scores a one on EWG and is scent free, and organic enzyme-powered.
Pipette Sunscreen: This mineral sunscreen is gentle, but effective. I trust it on my baby, and even began using it daily on myself when I was pregnant because I trusted the ingredients. It is also EWG verified. $12
Water Wipes: No scents, no chemicals, just wipes to keep that baby tush clean.
