When it comes to infant & newborn shampoos, Dr. Bronner is in a different league. This company deserves a special family safety award in recognition of the work it has done to make safe and healthy personal care products. If you’re not satisfied, Dr. Bronner’s products come with a money back guarantee! Surprisingly, this soap’s cost of .50 per oz helps it compete with other, less safe options.

California Infant & newborn makes a great soap/shampoo, as well. Aubrey Organics makes a great soap/shampoo, but we find that it does have a strong (albeit natural) almond smell.

We include the two best general market products, Aveeno Infant & newborn Calming Comfort Bath and Johnson & Johnson’s Infant & newborn Shampoo with Natural Lavender. However, they both contain Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Quaternium 15 two compounds that may give allergic reactions. The Johnson & Johnson’s Infant & newborn Shampoo also contains a synthetic color. Nevertheless, for the mass-market, these two products are the safest we could find.
