Our Picks
Fragrance-Free Baby Wash & Shampoo
Scented bubble bath
Gentle on eczema-prone skin
EWG Verified options
Why we picked it: Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation and allergic reactions, so fragrance-free formulas are a simpler choice for sensitive baby skin.
Mineral Baby Sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens
Mineral zinc oxide protection
Non-nano zinc
Why we picked it: Zinc oxide sits on top of the skin and blocks both UVA and UVB rays, and it's one of only two sunscreen active ingredients the FDA has proposed as generally recognized as safe and effective. (Keep babies under 6 months out of direct sun when you can.)
Open-Seam Silicone Bath Toys
Sealed rubber squirt toys
Open to clean, no hidden mold
Silicone
Why we picked it: Toys that open up let you clean and fully dry the inside, which keeps trapped water from growing mold.
Organic Cotton Hooded Towels
Polyester towels
Absorbent and cozy
GOTS cotton
Why we picked it: Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, and cotton terry absorbs water better than polyester, which tends to push water around.
