Boots expert baby wash

I find I am acquiring more and more baby products which is a good thing because I can use them on myself and of course baby.

WHAT IS IT?

The blurb explains to me that baby's sensitive skin needs special care and so this range has been formulated by dermatologists to provide that care It is 100% fragrance and colour free, hypoallergenic and can be used daily by anyone with sensitive skin including those with eczema. It is also soap free so should not irritate the eyes.

PRODUCT AND PACKAGING

The product comes in a fairly clinical looking white bottle as do all of the Boots expert range. All of the information, ingredients and advice is on the back of the bottle. The blue lid opens by lifting the lid and then the baby wash is dispensed from the small hole.
The product itself is a white colour and as I expected has absolutely no smell at all.
There are two ways of using the product. Either pour under warm running water or apply to flannel or sponge work into a lather and apply to wet skin and hair and then rinse. Personally, for people big and small I prefer the first method because then I know that a proper wash and rinsing has been accomplished.
When I add it to running water, the product produces a gratifying amount of bubbles but not so many that baby will be covered in them. I find that when i wash grandson (less than a month old) I use a very small amount of the stuff so there aren't too many bubbles, but when Little Miss uses it, she likes to put more of the product in the bath, because more product equals more bubbles equals better bath!

The product lathers up easily when we put it onto a sponge, which we have done whilst baby is in the bath, and does rinse off easily, leaving no residue or greasiness.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

This costs £1.95 FOR 300ML and is available either in store or on line.

VERDICT

A great product for all of the family unless there is someone very dirty who wants a more medicated bath. Himself and teenage son claim that it's not "strong" enough for them, so I assume they feel more dirty. However, for young children and babies, it's excellent.

The product leaves baby clean and thankfully it rinses off easily, so there is no build up of the product. I can vouch for the fact that it doesn't sting eyes because Little Miss got some in her eyes and there was none of the screaming which goes when any products sting her eyes.

A very mild and gentle product which does as it claims.
Recommended for baby and you.

Thanks for reading.
