Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike conventional baby washes that rely on synthetic surfactants like SLS for foam, Dr. Bronner's utilizes organic coconut and olive oils to create a natural lather. It is significantly more concentrated than watered-down retail soaps, meaning a single bottle lasts much longer, providing better value than non-concentrated alternatives found in the same category.

How to use it

1. Dilute one part soap with at least three parts water for general body washing.
2. Apply a small amount to a clean washcloth or sponge.
3. Gently massage onto the baby's skin, avoiding the eye area as it is not tear-free.
4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until the skin feels squeaky clean.
5. Store in a cool place to prevent the natural oils from clouding.
