I really love the smell and the fact that it pumps foam out really is great as it allows me to clean my baby with having to worry that there’s a heavy residue. What I don’t like is that you need to pump kind of a lot of soap in order to wash your baby and that when it washes off, it leaves the baby “squeaky clean”. I don’t like the squeaky clean feel as I feel that the moisture doesn’t stay on the skin for a long enough time. It’s a kin to washing with hard water and soft ware. I grew up with soft water so when I wash with hard water my skin drys out and feels rough.

i really love this! i just started using it on my newborn and i didn’t feel like it was too harsh at all. the scent is amazing, i can still smell it on my son days later and it smells SO natural, like oranges and vanilla. i also like how the pump produces a foamy output so it lathers very easily. highly recommend!

This product gets a coveted 0 (non-toxic) from the Environmental Working Group’s campaign for safe cosmetics. I feel good using something that is gentle on my baby’s skin and good for the earth (it is not tear-free however, so watch baby’s eyes!) It smells heavenly, and makes a nice lather that is very easy to rinse off. I have been happy with all of the various Earth Mama Angel Baby products I have tried.

My mom bought us a whole care package of Earth Mama Angel Baby products after our second child was born. She had done exhaustive research on the safety of a number of different baby products (you’d be surprised what’s in most of it) and this was one of the very, very few to rate a zero hazard on the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Database. So, that’s a huge point in its favor and most of the stars given it are based on this.
Then there’s the scent. It smells like creamsicles! And yet it’s got this warmth underneath the creamsicle scent. It’s really pleasant, especially on a newborn baby.
The bottle it comes in is great! It extends the use of this the shampoo *really* far if you use it conservatively. And because I knew how much it cost, I’d rarely use more than one or two pumps worth in a single bath, which made plenty of sudsy bubbles.
It definitely cleans, but it was kind of shocking to me just how straw-like my daughters hair felt after rinsing. I read this happens with people who switch to castile shampoo in the initial transition as it strips chemicals from the hair, but my experience was that this was always the case, even after six months. However, when my daughter’s hair dried, it was quite soft and normal.
Anyway, the loss of two stars was simply based on the shelf life, something that I found, disappointingly, varied from bottle to bottle. Our first couple of bottles lasted six months. The next couple we bought (with money we didn’t really have, I might add) were rancid after only a couple months. When it goes bad, it actually smells like an alcoholic beverage. Think fermented fruit. Now, two plus years ago, the price for these was a bit steeper and they had to be ordered directly from the company plus shipping. So this was pretty devastating to me.
Had I given much thought to the fact that this has NO PRESERVATIVES in it, and since we live in a warm climate this could totally wreck my expensive purchase, I’d have likely refrigerated it between bathing. Maybe the label should say something to this effect.
Instead I just didn’t buy it again.
Perhaps you can learn from my mistake, or at least make a more informed decision. I think this is a nice, though perhaps not totally perfect, product. But only if it is stored as if it were a perishable food item. The same condition, by the way, applies to the lotion. The bottom balm, however, is a safer bet in terms of shelf life.
