SLS-free baby toiletries


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.

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
http://www.mollycoddlesofrochester.co.uk/shop/
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)
