One Gentle Bottle That Does It All
Before becoming a mum, I never thought I’d spend so much time squinting at ingredient lists in baby products.
But once you see how sensitive your baby’s skin really is, you start questioning everything.
I was looking for something:
- Natural, without perfume or harsh chemicals
- Safe to use daily, even on dry or eczema-prone skin
- And ideally, one bottle that could do hair and body
That’s how I ended up trying the Lavera Baby & Kids Body Wash & Shampoo.
And it quickly became one of the few bath-time staples I trust and actually re-buy.
What Made It Stand Out
1. Super Gentle on Baby’s Skin (and Scalp)
This body wash is made for delicate skin — and it shows.
From the first use, I noticed:
- No redness or post-bath dryness
- No weird reactions on my baby’s scalp
- No strong fragrance — just a clean, subtle scent that fades quickly
It’s especially great if your baby has dry patches, cradle cap, or sensitive skin that flares up with standard shampoos.
2. One Bottle for Hair & Body
I’m all for simplifying routines — especially at bath time.
This formula works well as a gentle shampoo and as a body wash.
I can lather it in my hands or use a washcloth — it rinses easily and never leaves a film.
(Also no tears, in case it accidentally gets in the eyes — huge win.)
3. Organic Ingredients That Feel Reassuring
Lavera products are known for using:
- Organic aloe vera
- Evening primrose oil
- No synthetic fragrances, parabens, or microplastics
Basically: nothing suspicious, nothing unnecessary, and that’s a big comfort when you’re using something every day on a newborn.
What I Genuinely Love About It
- Feels truly gentle — no drying or tightness after use
- One bottle does everything — head to toe, start to finish
- Minimal scent — perfect for babies or parents sensitive to smells
- Clean formula — free from nasties, certified organic
- Great price for a natural brand — especially when compared to “greenwashed” high-street options
Things to Keep in Mind
- Low lather — don’t expect bubble bath foam; it’s gentle and creamy, not sudsy (a sign of fewer synthetic surfactants).
- Mild scent — if you like strong baby-smelling products, this one might feel too subtle. Personally, I love that it smells like nothing.
- Best for younger babies — toddlers might eventually want something with a bit more scent or fun texture, but this is perfect for the first year.
Would I Recommend It?
Absolutely.
If you’re looking for a gentle, clean, trustworthy wash for daily use — without perfumes, without drama, and without having five bottles cluttering the bath — Lavera’s Baby & Kids Body Wash & Shampoo is a brilliant choice.
It’s one of those quietly excellent products that doesn’t shout, but works beautifully.
Where I Got Mine

- Whole Foods or Planet Organic – if shopping in-store
(Tip: It lasts a surprisingly long time — we used one bottle for over two months with daily baths.)
