| All they need is water. Any cleaner, including natural, will likely be too drying. |

| California baby here as well, and we use it (diluted) for our homemade baby wipes. Works really well, haven't noticed any drying out. |

| OP, for the future, please bear in mind that "natural" does not necessarily mean mild. Natural oils and herbs can be extremely harsh on skin. |

This. Cetaphil is extremely gentle, but I don't know if it's necessarily "natural" (or at least it's not packaged that way.) |

Agree with both of these statements, as a parent of a child with bad eczema. Our pedi said wash with water only "or" use Cetaphil if a cleanser is needed. And my child is almost 5 years old. That's all he has used as a cleanser, even on his dirtiest sweaty summer days. |
