Body wash & shampoo recommendation

Anonymous
For a long time, my son has been scratching his neck, face & head all the time. There is no rash, no redness, no flaky skin or sort, and they are clean. He does not have any allergy, and I have confirmed with his pediatrician. I have asked him if they are itchy, but he declines to answer me (he is 3). He has been using Johnson head-to-toe baby wash & shampoo for his body & hairwash since born. I want to change his body wash & shampoo to see if that could help. Please recommends.

Poofy Organics baby wash.

J&J changed its formulation about a year ago and my daughter started reacting to it.

J&J is very drying. We use Burt's Bees because I can get it on subscribe and save.

Change to literally anything else and see if it makes a difference. Doesn't matter what.

If you like a product that's both shampoo and body wash in one, the everyone lavender 3-in-1 kids wash is nice. I usually buy it when it's 30% off at whole foods but it's available other places. https://www.eoproducts.com/collections/3-in-1-hand-soap

Burts Bees baby shampoo and wash for our 3 yo. Aveeno was too drying for him as a baby and we've used the Burts Bees since.

Eucerin Baby Wash. Also, have you tried lotion?

+1. Even our pediatrician thought DD was reaction to a hair care product...but it turned out to be lice.

We started using Weleda calendula body wash when DC was a baby and are still using it four years later. It's excellent.

For shampoo, we still use J&J since DS has relatively oily hair and needs something appropriate for that (I'd love to switch but haven't found anything that's tear-free and as effective as Johnsons).

Briogeo shampoo and conditioner. Do you have hard water by chance? We have a softener but it isn't enough for our area. I also follow with Vanicream lotion.

OP, I’m pretty sure Johnson’s is the worst soap ever. People have used it in studies, and then they measure the chemicals in their bloodstream over time, and it’s astounding.

Pick a different soap.
