Best Baby Soap & Baby Wash Australia: 61 Products Rated & Reviewed
, by Hello Charlie Blogs, 108 min reading time
Quick Verdict
Our strongest current all-round liquid baby wash pick is Jack N Jill Baby Bath Wash - Fragrance Free. It is fragrance-free, uses a relatively simple glucoside-based cleansing system and closely matches Hello Charlie’s preferred ingredient and transparency criteria.
For an unscented concentrated castile soap, Dr. Bronner’s Baby Unscented remains a standout — but true soap is alkaline and not tear-free, so it is not automatically the best choice for every baby, particularly those with very dry or eczema-prone skin.
The biggest positive formula change in this update is Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash. The current Australian formula is materially different from the old archived version, so the previous criticism should not be copied forward unchanged.
For babies with eczema or very reactive skin, the most useful general rule is often simpler than any “natural versus synthetic” debate: use lukewarm water, keep baths short, use cleanser only where needed, and favour a mild fragrance-free cleanser. Dermatology and eczema organisations consistently recommend this approach for sensitive skin.
Our Top Picks
Best all-round fragrance-free liquid wash
Jack N Jill Baby Bath Wash - Fragrance Free
A simple fragrance-free glucoside-based formula with glycerin and panthenol. Our strongest current liquid wash pick.
Best concentrated unscented castile soap
Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Liquid Soap - Baby Unscented
Five-star ingredient alignment and excellent transparency, with the important caveat that true soap is alkaline and not tear-free.
Best ultra-simple archived formula
Nature's Child Organic Baby Soap & Baby Wash
The archived formula was exceptionally short and fragrance-free. Current exact formula/availability should still be checked before purchase.
Best current scented two-in-one option
Weleda Calendula Shampoo and Body Wash
Gentle cleansing system with plant oils and calendula, but natural fragrance allergens keep it at four stars.
Biggest positive reformulation
Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash
The current Australian formula is substantially improved from the archived version and no longer contains several ingredients that drove the old criticism.
About Our Recommendation Ratings
Our ratings are not a declaration that a product is “safe” or “unsafe”, and a lower rating does not mean a product is dangerous. The rating reflects how closely a formula aligns with Hello Charlie’s preferred ingredient and transparency criteria, while also considering fragrance, formula complexity, disclosure, skin sensitivity, product format and the quality of current verification.
How We Reviewed These Baby Washes
We started with the original 73-page Hello Charlie PDF and the live article, which together documented 59 baby soaps and washes. For this 2026 update, we preserved every historical product rather than quietly deleting old reviews. Where reliable current information was available, we checked the modern formula, product status and current Hello Charlie stock position. When a current formula could not be independently verified, we say so clearly and preserve the archived formula only as historical reference.
We also changed the tone of the ingredient discussion. Older versions of many “non-toxic” articles — including our own — sometimes used very absolute language. Our current approach is more careful: natural does not automatically mean safer, synthetic does not automatically mean unsafe, and ingredient risk depends on dose, purity, formulation, route of exposure and individual sensitivity. We still apply a precautionary Hello Charlie framework, but we avoid overstating evidence.
Our strongest preference for very sensitive or eczema-prone baby skin is usually a mild, fragrance-free cleanser with good ingredient transparency. Essential oils are still fragrance ingredients and can matter for sensitive skin, even when they are natural or organic.
What To Look For In A Baby Wash
- Fragrance-free rather than simply “unscented” when your baby has eczema, very sensitive skin or a history of reacting to scented products.
- A mild cleansing system and a formula that does not rely on an unnecessarily long list of fragrance, colour or decorative ingredients.
- Clear ingredient disclosure. We prefer being able to see the full ingredient list before purchase.
- A format suited to your baby’s skin. Traditional true soap can be beautifully simple, but its higher pH can be drying for some babies.
- Realistic use. Babies do not always need cleanser over their entire body at every bath.
A note about eczema: For a baby with eczema, persistent dryness, broken skin, recurrent infections or ongoing irritation, follow your GP, paediatrician or dermatologist’s advice. A five-star rating here does not override individual medical needs.

Major Formula Changes You Should Know About
Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash
Major positive reformulation
The archived formula contained petrolatum, dimethicone, steareth-20 and benzalkonium chloride. The current Australian formula checked for this update does not list those ingredients.
Lovekins Baby Hair & Body Wash
Major reformulation
The current formula is materially different from the archived aloe/white tea/Kakadu plum formula and now includes polysorbate 20, propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, EDTA and several essential oils.
Ecostore Baby Body Wash
Recommendation revised
The modern formula differs from the archived version. Sodium coco-sulfate, fragrance and benzyl alcohol mean it now sits in the three-star tier under the updated Hello Charlie framework.
Johnson Baby Top To Toe Bath
Reformulated, but still three stars
The formula has changed since the archived review, but fragrance, PEG/PPG ingredients and cocamidopropyl betaine remain key considerations.
123 Nourish Me Sleepy Head Bath Wash
Shorter current formula
The modern formula is shorter and no longer lists several botanical extracts that appeared in the archived version, while retaining essential oils and a parfum-labelled ingredient.
Wotnot Baby Wash
Updated ingredient deck
The current formula now includes colloidal oatmeal, linseed and jojoba oils with a revised preservative system; it remains a strong four-star option with essential-oil considerations.
Important: Products We Could Not Fully Reverify
Some products in the old PDF are discontinued, renamed, hard to find, region-specific or no longer supported by a reliable current full ingredient list. We have kept them in this article because the historical record matters — but we do not pretend that an old ingredient list is current when we cannot prove it.

Full Baby Soap & Baby Wash Reviews
Each review below shows the current product status, formula verification status, archived recommendation status, current rating, formula-change summary, ingredients or historical ingredient list, practical considerations and our updated verdict.
123 Nourish Me Sleepy Head Bath Wash
Formula Change Summary: The current formula is shorter than the archived formula and no longer lists olive leaf, calendula, chamomile or rosehip extracts. It still contains lavender and lemon myrtle essential oils plus a parfum-labelled ingredient.
Current ingredients / key ingredients

What To Consider: Essential oils can be a consideration for fragrance-sensitive, very young or eczema-prone skin. The parfum description also deserves transparent explanation.

What We Like: Simple saponified oil base with goat’s milk and vitamin E.

Hello Charlie Verdict: A simple historical formula, but bar-soap alkalinity and palm-oil considerations keep it at four stars.

Organic Sucrose, Organic White Grape Juice, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Palm Kernel Oil, Potassium Hydroxide (none remains after saponification), Organic Olive Oil, Organic Shikakai Powder, Organic Hemp Seed Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Citric Acid, Tocopherol.
Best For: Families wanting an unscented, concentrated soap made from a short list of recognisable oils and sugar-based ingredients.
What We Like: No added fragrance, transparent ingredient list and certified organic/fair-trade positioning.
What To Consider: This is true soap, so it is alkaline and not tear-free. Use sparingly, dilute as directed and keep out of eyes; it may not suit every baby with very dry or eczema-prone skin.
Hello Charlie Verdict: A five-star formulation within Hello Charlie’s preferred framework, with an important true-soap caveat for delicate or eczema-prone skin.

Ecostore Baby Soap
Formula Change Summary: The exact product variant appears to have changed over time, so the archived ingredient deck should not be assumed to match every current pack.
Current ingredients / key ingredients
Current Ecostore baby soap variants differ by market. The archived formula used goat’s milk, a palm/palm-kernel soap base, glycerin, wheat germ oil, titanium dioxide, EDTA, etidronate and lavender fragrance.
Best For: Families who prefer a bar format and are comfortable checking the exact current pack ingredient list.
What We Like: Bar formats can be compact and long-lasting.

Hello Charlie Verdict: Very simple archived formula, but use skin-type judgement and verify the current pack.

What Changed From The Original Hello Charlie Cheat Sheet?
The original cheat sheet reviewed 59 products and used a simpler “recommended or not recommended” style. This update keeps every historical product but introduces a more useful three-tier recommendation system. It also separates current verified formulas from historical archived formulas, flags major reformulations and avoids repeating outdated criticism where a product has changed.
Most importantly, we now use more measured ingredient language. A product is not automatically “toxic” because it contains a synthetic ingredient, and a product is not automatically ideal for a baby simply because it is natural or organic. We still prefer simpler, transparent, fragrance-free formulas for sensitive baby skin, but we explain the trade-offs rather than relying on fear.
Baby Bathing Tips For Sensitive Skin
For babies with sensitive or eczema-prone skin, dermatology guidance generally favours lukewarm water, short baths, cleanser only where needed and a mild fragrance-free cleanser. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends five-to-ten-minute baths for babies with eczema and using a mild fragrance-free cleanser only on dirty or smelly areas. Eczema Association Australasia similarly recommends fragrance-free products for eczema-prone skin.
That means the “best” baby wash is not always the one with the longest list of plant extracts, essential oils or superfood ingredients. For reactive skin, fewer potential triggers can be more useful.
