The BEST Nontoxic Baby Bath Products You Can Find on Amazon

Bathtime is one of my favorite activities with my babies. They both love splashing around in the water, stacking bubbles on top of their heads, and pretending to splash me. It’s truly the sweetest (simultaneously messiest?) rituals of motherhood for me.

However, as a mama of two babes with very sensitive skin (you can read about our holistic approach to healing eczema here), many conventional baby bath products are far too irritating. That is why we have chosen to prioritize non-toxic bath products to keep things enjoyable for us all 😅

Why Nontoxic Bath Products Are Essential for Babies

Your baby’s skin is thinner and more permeable than an adult’s, making it more susceptible to absorbing harmful chemicals. Many bath products contain ingredients like parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and dyes that can cause skin irritation or disrupt your baby’s developing systems.

By choosing nontoxic bath products, you can:

  • Prevent skin irritation and rashes: Avoid common irritants like artificial fragrances and harsh cleansers.

  • Support their health: Reduce exposure to harmful chemicals that may impact development.

  • Enjoy peace of mind: Know you’re using products specifically designed with your baby’s safety in mind.

Top Nontoxic Baby Bath Products from Amazon

As a working mom with two small babies, I love the convenience of Amazon. Delivered to my doorstep in just a couple of days? Or, even sometimes, overnight?! It really doesn’t get any easier. These are my favorite recommendations for non-toxic bath time essentials that you can add to your amazon cart.

Quick note— all these products are ranked a 1 or a 2 on EWG at the time of writing this!

Gentle Baby Washes

  • Mushie baby shampoo + body wash- you’ll see this brand pop up quite a bit on this list. I really have loved all the products I have tried! Personally, we use the fragrance-free version of this wash since the scented one includes “parfum” on the label.

    • Full Ingredient List: Aqua/Water/Eau, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Extract*, Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Coco-Glucoside, Glycerin**, Maris Sal/Sea Salt, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate

      *Ingredients from organic farming. **Made using organic ingredients. 99% natural origin of total. 19% of the total ingredients are from organic farming.

  • Babo Botanicals Sensitive Baby Shampoo & Wash: Hypoallergenic and enriched with oat milk and calendula, this wash is perfect for babies with sensitive skin or eczema.

Nontoxic Bubble Baths

  • Unscented Bubble Podz- made with all plant-based ingredients, these little pods are so fun! My kiddos love holding them under the water and watching them bubble up. These are not fizzy like bath bombs, but just like “regular” bubble bath solutions.

    • Ingredient List: Pure Saccharum Officinarum (Cane Sugar), *Lathanol LAL Powder (SLSA), Corn Starch, AS90, Colloidal Oatmeal, Allantoin

  • Honest Company Fragrance-Free Bubble Bath: This plant-based formula creates gentle bubbles without synthetic dyes or harsh chemicals, making it safe for everyday use. EWG verified and a good option for sensitive baby skin!

Moisturizing Baby Lotions for After Bath Time

Bath Accessories

  • Silicone Spout cover- this cute rainbow spout cover is perfect for protecting those sweet little heads from hitting the bath spout!

  • organic cotton bath mitt- perfect for slipping on your hand and washing up dirty little ones!

  • organic cotton hooded towel- Is it just me or are precious little baby bath towels with a hood the absolute sweetest thing in the world?! I love that these are made of organic cotton and they wash up so well!

  • Bath Temperature Thermometer: This sweet little ducky measures the temperature of the water and helps to ensure that it is a safe temperature for baby!

Non-Toxic + Mold-Free Bath Toys

  • Mushi silicone stackable bath boats- these are my kiddos favorites! It is a set of boats that they can float, stack, or practice pouring. They are made of food-grade silicone and are squishy enough in case your little guy bonks his sister with them (not that I would know 🤪)

  • Mushie silicone bath sets- They have a princess set, sea life, space and dinos! They are made of food-grade silicone and open up to fully drying- helping to ensure your bath toys aren’t growing mold 😷

Tips for Choosing Nontoxic Baby Bath Products

  1. Read the Labels: Look for products labeled “fragrance-free,” “paraben-free,” and “phthalate-free.”

  2. Opt for Plant-Based Ingredients: Natural ingredients like aloe vera, coconut oil, and calendula are gentle and nourishing for your baby’s skin.

  3. Check Certifications: Look for products certified by organizations like USDA Organic, EWG Verified, or NSF/ANSI 305.

  4. Avoid Common Irritants: Stay away from sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and artificial dyes, which can harm sensitive skin.

Bath time should be a joyful and relaxing experience, not a cause for concern over harmful chemicals. By choosing nontoxic baby bath products, you can create a safe, soothing environment for your little one. With the wide selection of clean products available on Amazon, building a nontoxic bath routine has never been easier.
