One bottle for hair and body is the sensible way to run a baby bath. This is a 2-in-1 wash and shampoo, mild enough for delicate skin and fine baby hair, and it cleans without pulling the natural oils out of either.

Virgin coconut oil and murumuru butter are the conditioning pair. The coconut oil handles the softening, the murumuru butter seals moisture in, and between them they leave skin smooth and hair soft after rinsing rather than tight and squeaky.

Bath time with a baby is short and usually one-handed, which is the argument for a single bottle that does both jobs properly rather than two that each do one. There is no fight to find the right lid while somebody is getting cold.

The scent is the coconut oil itself rather than a fragrance blend added on top, which tends to suit parents who are wary of anything strong going on newborn skin. Suits sensitive skin from the early weeks onwards. 13 oz / 384 ml.

Application tips

Run the bath first and get your child properly wet, then lather a small amount in your own hands before it goes anywhere near them. It spreads further that way and you use less.

Wash the body, then the head last, so nothing sits on the skin longer than it has to. Rinse with a cup, keeping a cloth across the forehead to steer the water away from the eyes.

Results

Skin is left clean and soft rather than dry, and fine baby hair rinses down smooth enough to comb without catching.

Nothing is stripped away, so repeat use through the week is fine. The lather stays gentle and the coconut note is faint, which suits parents wary of perfume on new skin. Bath time gets shorter, which is usually the outcome that counts.
