Have you heard of the Monat Kids Line? I can’t seem to find enough research or reviews on it to determine if it IS all natural or has sneaky stuff.

You raised an issue that is frustratingly common in bath, hair, makeup and skincare products sold in or to the U.S. when you mentioned the Mustela brand. First, bath products, beauty products, hair products, makeup, skincare products for any age range do not legally have to meet their promises because they are all labelled under the fda as cosmetics. Second, different toxins in these products can go under different names or combinations of names. Third, unless the item is specifically stated as being fda-tested, it isn’t. The fda approves the tests, testing guidelines, test procedures and test results submitted by the manufacturer of the product/s. If the fda has been intentionally deceived by a manufacturer they won’t know it until the public starts complaining about health or skin issues caused by the tested product/s. Third, many product lines are actually produced by the major drugstore brand manufacturers–l’Oreal, Revson (Revlon), etc. or even major pharmacies. Fourth, there are foreign cosmetics brands that change the production technique, recipe, and/or testing guidelines for the product lines they transport specifically to the u.s.

I wish you would add Wash With Water and Zoe Organics to the Good Stuff List! Those companies deserve extra business! Such great products, and such clean ingredients. I’ve been using both brands on my kids since my first kiddo was born in 2014, and have loved every product so far, especially Zoe. Worth looking into!

I have just noticed the Original Sprout brand being carried at our local supermarket (Sprouts) and was wondering if you could add it to your list to review. My son has curls in the back of his head that can get frizzy and I noticed they had a curl enhancer. If you know of any other good products to tame unruly curls I’d love to hear about it. Thanks! You’re site is the best and I’m loving the Facebook live chats.

Hi I have been using Mustela’ biodegratable 2 in 1 hair and body wash on my infant. Which clains to have 0% paraben, phtalate and phénoxyéthanol. Im confused because the ingredient you mentioned in not mentioned on the side of the tube. Although it lacks some lather, I really like it. But if it is harmful I will obviously stop using it.

In reply to Makayla.

Hi Makayla, I too am desperately trying to find the best products for my baby girl (due April ’17) the only thing I have settled on is a 100% raw coconut oil as a moisturizer (The Leaning Tree Amazon) I am also in the UK. I feel like I am going round in circles with wash products, I have just purchased babo botanicals moisturizing baby shampoo & wash with oatmilk & calendula which I managed to find on Amazon due to product being available in the US. It arrived today so I began to research each ingredient and I am extremely disappointed to find one of the ingredients ‘Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate’, only the 4th ingredient on the list packaging is something called a Nitrosating Agent which has been determined to form cancer in laboratory animals. it then goes on to state there are wide concerns in the USA & Europe about the use of these agents in cosmetics. I found this information on a website called http://www.miessence.com. I obviously can’t verify this information in anyway but it has most definitely put me off using this particular brand… so my search goes on… I hope this has helped… Leesa x

By: Amelia

Amelia — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 17:03:25 +0000

I know you mention arbonne, but they came out with a new baby line (i’m not sure how recent) but when I look up reviews its all for their old line, so I’m not sure if they just changed the packaging or if they’ve changed everything. Do you know how safe their newest baby line is? I’m just interested in their body & hair wash and lotion. We were using the baby, but I broke out in hives…not sure why so now we are using Wash with water organics, but it’s just too expensive. I wanted to try the acure line next for our 3mo old since my husband and I use that for ourselves. Any suggestions ?

Thanks!

In reply to Annie. Yes, among other things. California Baby is good (but uses sodium benzoate), but Babyganics I consider Sneaky Stuff (not all their products, but you have to read every label, whereas Acure is across the board safe).

By: Annie

Annie — Mon, 10 Oct 2016 12:23:47 +0000

Just double checking that you prefer Acure baby products over both California baby and Babyganics? Is it due to the preservatives?

In reply to Caitlin.

Hi! Fragrances would definitely need to be listed on the Burt’s Bees label. The biggest concern is if it says simply “fragrance” or “parfum,” as that can mean dozens of undisclosed chemicals. But if you don’t see anything like this, you should be okay:). As for Baja, I don’t know that brand! I’ll look into them when we update the relevant guides, but in the meanwhile, a short list of ingredients sounds promising:).

Hello
What do you think about 100% pure baby shampoo?

It has Limonene listed, but says its a ” Component of Natural Essential Oil”
I am not sure what that means, but I know ewg has Limonene listed as a 6.

I am looking for something that is tear free, I wanted to use Dr. Bronners baby until I got some in my eyes, and it was VERY painful.

***Ingredients For 100%Pure Extra Gentle Baby Shampoo

Aloe Barbadensis (Organic Aloe) Leaf Juice, Cocos Nucifera (Saponified Coconut) Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Seaweed (Carrageenan) Extract, Quillaja Saponaria (Soap Bark) Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender Hydrosol) Flower Water, Organic Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Vanilla Planifolia (Vanilla) Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange Essential Oil), Lonicera Caprifolium Flower and Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Citral*, Limonene* and Linalool*

So glad I saw what you wrote about Mustela. We got a bottle as a gift, and fortunately saw this post before opening it, so we were able to donate it.

We also found a Burt’s Bees shampoo that is unscented, and doesn’t have limonene or any other fragrance listed in the ingredients. Do you think that’s ok, or would the fragrances not necessarily be listed?

Another one I didn’t see on your list is Baja Baby Gear. It’s unscented, with a very short ingredient list. Have you encountered this brand before? We’ve been using it for a while so I hope it’s not sneaky stuff :-\

What are your recommendations for babies with really easily irritated eyes? We were using California Baby, but it seems to dry her hair out a lot. Shea Moisture makes her scream if even a tiny bit gets in her eyes. I don’t like the sound of numbing agents, but California Baby seems to be the only one on your list that is tear free without them.

In reply to Anna. Hi Anna- Original Sprout doesn't disclose exactly what's in their fragrance, and they also use some pretty bad ingredients, albeit in addition to a lot of good ones (example: cocamidopropyl betaine).

Hello!!! Love your site! So informative and very helpful in regards of providing only the best for our kids. Have you come across with “just hatched shampoo?” I’ve found it at Walgreens and small stores, and claim to contain no yucky stuff. Thanks

By: Anna

Anna — Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:28:32 +0000

In reply to Maia James.

I’ve been in search of things that are also locally available in my area, and Original Sprout is one of them.

I also was unsure of their products and wanted to know are there particular ingredients that make Original Sprout just Okay and not Good Stuff?

I’m curious!

Thanks! 🙂

BTW – love your site – I use it to reference almost every product I use now and have become extremely conscientious of products that come in contact with my family!

I’m thinking about trying Yorba Organics baby shampoo and wash. I’ve researched their main ingredient, mafura, and it seems really great, but how does it rank overall? Is it safe? I can’t find any reviews online. Here’s the ingredient list https://www.yorba.com/baby-wash-shampoo.html

Hi Irene-

I am not sure what kind of soap would be best for stys specifically, but for the eyes, I would go with something extra natural and gentle…maybe even this? https://gimmethegoodstuff.org/store/sierra-sage-oil-cleansing-face-wash-with-calendula/

I need a product to wash my five year old’s eye lids… She gets stys and it’s been recommended that I use a no tears shampoo on and around her closed eyes (in conjunction with regular warm compresses). Do you have any suggestions? I saw you have California Baby listed as no tears… I don’t think it needs to be a shampoo, though.

Blessings!

I am so grateful to have stumbled on your site. “STAY SANE!” I have a question about essential oil use in baby products, including those recommended on the Good Stuff. I’ve always understood that most essential oils were a neurotoxin for children, so I’m confused when I see them listed as ingredients in baby products?
