Do you know of any non toxic baby wash, shampoo, bubble bath out there on the market?

Every time I give my 2 year old daughter a bath, she loves to drink the water/ put the bubbles in her mouth. I talked to her pediatrician about this and she said its fine, most kids do this and it is normal. I currently use Method bubble bath, shampoo and baby wash and I looked on the back to see if these were non toxic and it didn't say. I know a lot of Method products are non toxic, but these don't say. Do you know of any that are non toxic? Thanks for your help!Do you know of any non toxic baby wash, shampoo, bubble bath out there on the market?
With the pediatrician's blessing I wouldn't worry too much about it, since just by using Method you're using a safer (gentler / cleaner) product for your 2 year old.





You're right, the ';non-toxic'; label is missing from Method's advertising for the baby products and it's not on the label. Personally, though, I'd trust them. We use their counter top wipes, dish soap, and hand soap at home.





If you want to go one step further, you could go with Dr. Bronner's (or other brand) castille soap. The ingredients listed are a variety of natural vegetable oils that you really can eat. There's an unscented ';Baby Mild'; version that I like to use on the baby. Personally, I use the lavender to help relax during evening showers or the peppermint for morning showers.





Mommy prefers Mustela for our 3 month old for the smell and how well it works. Though it may not be as ';natural'; as the above mentioned brands it has a good reputation and was recommended by our pediatrician.





In the end, you're doing right by your daughter. These products are absorbed by our skin, in our eyes, and are generally safe. Before we know it, our kids will be in high school and we'll have other things to worry about (mine's growing like a weed!).





Update: The liquid Dr Bronner's soap cleans great but doesn't make much suds. You mix a squirt or two with a few gallons of water (or less) and clean with a wash cloth. This combined with the fact it doesn't taste too nice (bleh - I just tasted the baby mild version), might reduce incidents of bubble-blowing and digestion by your 2 year old!Do you know of any non toxic baby wash, shampoo, bubble bath out there on the market?
My son also drinks the bath water a lot. I simply don't put anything in it as at this young age, I don't want him ingesting carcinogenic chemicals. He has lots of bath toys so is not hassled about not having bubbles. At the end I give him a quick mild soap over and shampoo and then rinse him down quickly with the hose or jug, and get him out.


Some of the stuff in these products is pretty nasty!
Does it have a web site on the bottle or a phone number where you could call and maybe ask them and see what they would tell you? Have you looked at the ones they sell that claim to be all natural? Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Try Aveeno baby wash, it is great and all natural :)
