SLS-free baby toiletries

Mary Jo · Jul 3rd, 2009, 10:02 AM

I want to use products that don't contain sodium lauryl sulphate or sodium laureth sulphate on my baby, which means avoiding a lot of mainstream brands like Johnson's, etc.

Does anyone know which brands don't use these chemicals? I only know of Burt's Bees so far (Boots website isn't helpful as many products don't list the ingredients).

Thanks.

Hi,
I think i am beingf a bit dense, what are the issues with sodium lauryl sulphate products?
Is this chemical in most products!
God, there are so many dangers to think about! Ahhhhh! A life of worry here we come!
Sorry if this is a stupid question or answered elsewhere?!
Thanks.

Have you seen Halos 'n' Horns? http://www.halosnhorns.co.uk/ I love their stuff, it smells so good! I use it myself

I also love the baby soap from www.simplysoaps.co.uk it's so gentle

It is in a lot of products...

look here

I am not obsessive about chemicals but while my baby is young and developing fast, I want to keep things as natural as I can.

I agree ... I've bought some Green people stuff (always use it for us anyway), JASON's stuff is good but not sure they do baby stuff? I often order from these people

they do a good range of different brands and I've always found them to be really quick and efficient.
sometimes it's hard to resist when things like johnsons / boots or supermarkets own brand are on sale etc ... not saying I will be rigid about it but I tend to buy the 'natural' sls-free brands for us most of the time so i'll just be sticking to that.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions!

I found another link that explains it a bit better, and why it's an issue for little babies (of less than 6 months old)
