Guide To Natural Kids Shampoo

When it comes to bath time, kids can get fussy, annoyed and difficult to bathe, often ending up with shampoo in their eyes because they won't stop fidgeting! There's nothing worse than that nasty sting, with irritating ingredients usually to blame. Natural kids shampoos are much gentler on their young hair and skin, containing pure, plant-derived ingredients to soothe and calm while still removing all that dirt and grime from the day's play. Affordable and effective, natural kids shampoos can keep your child's hair fresh, soft and tangle free. Not to mention that many of them actually double as a body wash, so you can save a bit of money and tick two things off your list in one hit.

How is natural kids' shampoo different?

Children's hair and skin have different needs to our adult scalps, as delicate young skin can be far more sensitive and susceptible to irritation. For this reason, it's good to look for natural products that are specifically formulated for children, as they often contain pure ingredients that are gentler and more suitable for sensitive skin so as not to upset its natural balance. It's also important to look for products that don't contain common irritants such as synthetic sulphates and fragrances, as not only can they irritate skin, they can also sting little eyes and bring on more than a few tears! It can also be really helpful to opt for a 2-in-1 shampoo and body wash to save time and money if your kids don't love following a complicated bathing routine.
