Baby Care with Dr. Bronner’s
At Dr. Bronner’s, we understand that what you put on your baby’s skin and use in your home matters deeply. In this guide, we’ll explore four key areas where Dr. Bronner’s products can help you make the safest, simplest, and most effective choices for your baby’s care.
Choosing Better Baby Products
Let's start with the fundamentals: understanding what goes on your baby's skin. Their skin is delicate and sensitive, absorbing what it comes into contact with. Products containing synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and chemicals should be avoided in favor of products with ingredients that are short, transparent, and easy to understand. The skin, being the body's largest organ, deserves the utmost care and respect.
Our Baby Unscented Castile Soap is formulated with organic, fair trade ingredients, ensuring that what touches your baby’s skin is safe and effective. Free from synthetic detergents, preservatives, and artificial fragrances, this soap is made from a blend of organic coconut, olive, and hemp oils. The result is a product that is gentle and environmentally responsible.
Dr. Bronner’s Baby Unscented Balm and Sugar Soap also offer gentle care without compromising on performance. The balm offers an extra layer of nourishment, ideal for delicate areas prone to dryness or irritation, while the Sugar Soap, made with organic shikakai, gently cleanses while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture balance. Each product in the Baby Unscented line is crafted to ensure that your baby’s skin receives the gentlest, most effective care possible, free from harsh chemicals or synthetic additives.
Cleaning Baby Toys & Gear Safely
Babies engage with the world through all their senses, especially touch. This is why it’s essential to keep their gear—such as high chairs, strollers, and toys—clean and safe. However, maintaining cleanliness need not require the use of harsh chemicals or complicated routines.
With a few drops of our Liquid Castile Soap mixed with water, you can create powerful yet gentle cleaning solutions. These versatile cleaners effectively tackle dirt and grime while being gentle on the surfaces and materials your baby interacts with. Whether wiping down a high chair after a messy meal or cleaning a favorite toy that has been dragged across the floor, the Liquid Castile Soap ensure a thorough clean without leaving harmful residues.
Baby Bath Time with Dr. Bronner’s
Bath time should be fun and free from worry or concern. However, many commercial baby washes contain synthetic detergents and preservatives that can dry out or irritate delicate skin. This is why Dr. Bronner’s Baby Unscented Castile Soap is a great option.
Our Baby Unscented Castile Soap is formulated for infants, featuring no added fragrance and double the olive oil for enhanced moisturization. Ideal for cleansing your baby from head to toe, this soap leaves their skin soft, clean, and comforted. Additionally, its concentrated formula ensures that a small amount is sufficient—a few drops in the bathwater or on a washcloth are all that’s needed.
Please note that our Baby Unscented Soap is not tear free. This is because tear-free soaps and shampoos tend to contain synthetic ingredients like alkyl polyethoxylates, lidocaine, and other potentially harmful substances [1].
Washing Cloth Diapers with Dr. Bronner's
For parents who opt for cloth diapers, maintaining a proper laundry routine is a crucial aspect of caring for their baby. Cloth diapers offer both environmental benefits and a gentle touch on your baby’s skin—provided they are properly cleaned. Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds is an ideal companion in this task, delivering a powerful clean that effectively tackles stains while remaining gentle on fabrics.
To wash cloth diapers with Sal Suds, simply add a small amount to your washing machine—just a quarter of a teaspoon for a standard load is sufficient. This concentrated cleaner ensures a thorough cleansing, eliminating all traces of waste without leaving any residue that could irritate your baby’s skin. After washing, hang the diapers to dry in fresh air; the sun acts as a natural bleach and disinfectant, leaving the diapers bright, fresh, and ready for reuse.
Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap can also be used to wash cloth diapers. This only requires one extra step of including vinegar in the rinse cycle to prevent build up (mineralization) from the interaction of soap and hard water.
Our pure, simple, and ethical products allow you to care for your baby with confidence, ensuring choices that benefit both your child and the planet!
