Child bath stuff that is both environmentally friendly and also suitable for sensitive, dry skin...

...and is also genuine - not those that say "Natural" and "Gentle" and come with beige/white/green packaging to make them look all clean and pure and organic when actually they just contain a slightly different chemcial cocktail to their normal version.
Anyone recommend?
Also, ideally, not costing too much.

Not asking for much am I!

Green People products are excellent IMO

they aren't cheap but are very concentrated so you only need a drop

TBH with very sensitive skin you would probably be best off just using plain water if possible. How old are your children?

Organic Children.

ds is nearly 2.
He loves bubbles in his bath, but I suspect it doesn't help his dry skin and I know the bubble-making chemicals aren't too 'eco'.

He doesn't 'react' to normal bubble bath (apart from maybe dryness) but has developed nice rash where I put the factor 50 on him this weekend

CountessDracula · 11/06/2007 16:08

Halos and Horns

expatinscotland · 11/06/2007 16:20

DD1 loves bubble baths, but also has sensitive skin. Earth Friendly Baby is about the only one she can use.

TootyFrooty · 11/06/2007 16:27

Another vote for halos and horns. I like organic baby but it's v expensive. Ds2 has also reacted to sun block - anyone any idea which of the chemicals might have caused a raised rash?

Rhubarb · 11/06/2007 16:37

Halos and Horns is ok but it doesn't bubble well at all and you end up using loads of the shampoo and soap because it hardly lathers at all.

I don't use suncream unless it is absolutely necessary. They have long sleeved t-shirts and long trousers or a skirt and a wide brimmed hat.

mumto3girls · 11/06/2007 18:57

Maybe it depends on what kin of water you have, cos although H & H doesn't madly lther like Johnson's for instance, it does lather enough to was dd's hair without using loads.

I've used Infacare bubble bath for myself.
I suffer from really bad excema and it has not caused a reaction so far (touch wood).

Enid · 11/06/2007 19:02

plain warm water

and Dr Bronners Pure Castile Soap in Lavender for the really stinky bits

MilaMae · 11/06/2007 20:53

I don't like Halo & Horns full of colouring, irritated all 3 of mine. I use Green Baby and Beaming Baby. Currently using Earth Friendly, they've now got 3 diff bubble bath. We've got the lavender one and the body wash both lovely.

We use Lavera chemical free sun spray-brilliant.

Recently ordered both from yourhealthfoodstore.com. Very good service, free postage.

mumto3girls · 12/06/2007 08:32

Liz Earles body wash is lovely too...

dressedupnowheretogo · 12/06/2007 08:37

i use ickle baby bath bombs honey i washed the kids and hot milk bubble bars from lush also on occasion i use the nude bath melt which is cocoa butter and various oils never bothers my lo at all in fact her skin is so soft no animal products no animal testing recycled products and organic too i think i find it really good value

Dr Bronner

chocolateteapot · 12/06/2007 10:00

I'm with Enid on the Dr Bronners. I belive they are releasing a shampoo later in the year as well.

If you read the back of Halo & Horns etc it is still chock full of chemicals.

Enid · 12/06/2007 10:06

ooh (shampoo)
