California Baby Super Sensitive Shampoo & Bodywash - 19 oz.

I USED to love California Baby. But now they have changed their formula to include Sodium Benzoate.

From Natural News:

"Derived from a reaction of benzoic acid with sodium hydroxide, sodium benzoate is actually the sodium salt of benzoic acid.

I hate to think that we are subjecting our babies to cancer causing chemicals when there are safe alternatives out there. This product ranked well on the EWGs website and so we tried it. I think I bought it at Target. I was a little worried because it is hard to find safe products that actually work as well as the more common ones but I read a couple of good reviews on this one. We highly recommend this soap. I did read one review from someone that said that they gave their child a bath every other day and on the in between day the childs hair looked greasy. We have not had this problem as long as we were careful to make sure that it all rinsed out. We have been very busy moving lately and my daughter has even gone three days a couple of times between baths and her hair still looks...Read more
