The Best Natural Baby Hygiene Brands

A baby’s bath time can be a special ritual for caregivers — and one that can be made even more special by using natural and safe products to clean your little one. We compiled a list of 15 of the best natural baby hygiene brands, and had the Green Lovers audience vote for their favorites. Below you'll find the 10 winners, all of which are cruelty-free, are transparent about their ingredients, and have some sort of third-party safety verification, such as EWG Verified.
