1.0 out of 5 stars Know what you buy, November 17, 2011

This review is from: Aveeno Baby Wash & Shampoo, 18-Fluid Ounces Bottle (Health and Beauty)

Added note: Aveeno is a Johnson & Johnson brand. It's supposed to be their 'better' brand of shampoo, but has same dangerous chemicals as all their lines of shampoos. The review is for this product, which we owned and used until we learned of this fiasco.

After years of being pressured to remove harmful chemicals from the baby shampoos, Johnson and Johnson finally announced today that they will phase them out in next 2 years or earlier. A simple google search of 'chemicals in baby shampoo' brings up articles from USA Today, Reuters, Associated Press, Fox News, CBS News, etc.

The 2 nocive chemicals are 1.4 dioxane and formaldehyde. None are listed in the ingredients section because they are a byproduct of other chemicals shown on the label. There are countless articles on this and this has been in the news at least twice in the past 2 weeks.

These substances are banned in most European countries, but still used by J&J in their US baby shampoo. Reason? They are very cheap to make and this market is not regulated. The fact that today they agreed to phase them out is a first step in the right direction, although it will not motivate me to ever buy their products again.

For now, we have stopped using this shampoo and are extremely disappointed in the way J&J has treated US babies. We bought 2 organic shampoos from Amazon, based on ratings from Skin Deep Database and plan to stay with these for now.

What should you do? I don't pretend I know what is good for your kids, but would recommend to do your homework about what you buy for them. Protecting them from all the chemicals in our life is impossible, but everything starts one step at a time.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT hypoallergenic for my baby!, February 6, 2012

We got this wash for our baby with sensitive skin. The first time we used it, it was OK. The second time, however, resulted in hives all over his body. They were giant things -- bigger than the size of his ear! I didn't put two and two together, though, and thought it was something I ate before I nursed him. The third time it clicked when the hives came back with a rage. I wish I could share a photo of how awful it is! Even though this product claims to be 'natural', it totally isn't!

I had grown up with Johnson and Johnson baby wash and so that's what I originally used when my daughter was born. However she started having skin irritations and my doctor recommended that we switch to the Aveeno wash as she said it's much milder on baby's skin. I followed her advice and it fixed the problem. I now only buy this wash for my daughter and now my son. It also doesn't hurt their eyes at all if they get an in them. I'm very happy with this wash.
