Both my little ones have quite sensitive skin, especially Christopher who suffers extreme eczema flares, we realised quite early on that Johnson's baby products did not agree with their skin and so sought out another brand of baby products to use on them, what we came across was the Simple range and though Christopher still needs his medicated products Elsa has taken to Simple really well.
Simple baby Shampoo- Simple baby shampoo is designed with no added perfumes or colourings and aims to be as gentle as possible on delicate babies
skin. The shampoo is designed to leave your babies hair clean, undamaged, soft and shiny. Coming in a clean looking white bottle with yellow and green writing Simple baby shampoo appears as exactly that- simple, its design is unfussy and uncomplicated leaving you to concentrate on the product itself, it's designed to stand on it's dispensing end meaning that you get the most of every drop of the shampoo without excessive squeezing of the bottle.
The shampoo is a thick clear liquid and has no smell to it at all, even when water is added or it's applied to the hair there is no scent.
Price & Availability- Simple baby shampoo is available from most pharmacies and supermarkets in the region of £1.99 for a 250ml bottle.
Simple have a huge range of products available for adults and children alike and includes Simple Baby Soothing Lotion, Simple Baby Moisturising Bath and Simple Baby Moisturising Oil Gel. Check out http://www.auravita.com/brands/AURA/Simple.asp for an extensive product list.
Our Experience- We were given our initial bottle of Simple baby shampoo when Elsa was born, nearly 2 years ago, as part of a gift bundle from a relative, initially she had so little hair that it hardly seemed worth using the shampoo but gradually as her hair started growing longer and her tiny grubby fingers started applying various food kinds to her locks we realised shampoo had become a must.
Simple baby shampoo is one of those products where a little really goes a long way and we only need the smallest blob of the product for Elsa's hair, it lathers up really quickly and produces a good enough foam to completely cover her scalp and coat all the hair well. When rinsed out the hair is left clean and fresh with no tangles which is perfect for us as Elsa is a fidget at the best of times, so combing a tangled mess of hair is never an easy task.
I like that the product is free from perfumes and colours, knowing how sensitive Christopher's skin is in general I wouldn't want a product even mixing with their bath water if there was any chance he could have a reaction to it, as it is I can wash Elsa's hair when they are bathing together and not worry that his skin will flare up. Another benefit from the shampoo is that it doesn't effect Elsa's eyes when rinsed out, other products including "no more tears" ones have upset her while washing her hair and have made it near impossible in the past but Simple doesn't bother her at all and she'll actually let me near her with the stuff unlike other brands we've used.
I know that any product like this will never be totally free of nasty "ingredients" but Simple really does seem to hold up on it's promise of being gentle to delicate hair and sensitive skin, we've had no reactions with Elsa's skin since using the product and her hair is always lovely after washing, we also noticed a distinct drop in cradle cap (a skin condition many young babies suffer on their scalp) when we were using Simple on Elsa in her younger days. Because of the small amount needed when being used the bottle lasts a good amount of time which makes it great value for money and it's suitable for the whole family not just babies, I've caught hubby using it a few times but have told him off because he has his own more expensive shampoo that I hate to see being wasted.
Overall this is a great product for young babies, children and grown ups, it does it's job and is reasonably priced, perfect for sensitive and delicate skin, I can highly recommend it.
