A guide to the best organic and all natural baby products including gentle baby skin care, diaper care, baby shampoo and natural baby bath products made with clean ingredients.
“It took having a precious, little baby of my own for me to start really paying attention to buying natural, non-toxic products.”
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that line.
There’s something about bringing a new life into the world that wakes you up to the potential hazards in the world around you.
Suddenly you become extra sensitive to every little thing in your new baby’s environment – from food and clothing, to items in your home, and even the air they breathe. The shampoos, creams and other baby care products you use on their little bodies are under scrutiny as well….and for good reason.
Why Natural Baby Products Matter
Pick up a personal care product off a store shelf, and it will very likely contain ingredients linked to hormone-disruption, allergies, or other negative health effects, including cancer. Why? Because current U.S. federal regulations are extremely limited, and untested ingredients are perfectly fine for companies to use.
It’s one thing to use these ingredients on our grown-up bodies, but another thing altogether for a baby. A baby’s tiny body does not detoxify as efficiently as an adult’s, so the same chemicals can have a more drastic effect on them.
You just don’t want to mess around with something like this on your baby. And why take the chance when plenty of chemical free, natural baby care products exist?

How to Find the Best Natural Baby Products
Speaking from experience, life with a newborn can be a pretty overwhelming time. As a new mom, you don’t have a lot of time for leisurely shopping.
Sure, you want to buy safe and healthy products for your home and baby – including things like an organic crib mattress and a non-toxic changing pad – but you don’t have time to visit specialty shops all over town. Nor do most of us have an unlimited budget to buy high-end lotions and potions for baby.
That’s why I put together this list of the best natural and organic baby product brands for you! For the most part, these baby care brands are very affordable and easy to find on your next trip for diapers and groceries.
Everything listed here meets the following criteria, which are especially important for babies:
- EWG’s Skin Deep rating of 1, or EWG Verified or certified USDA Organic
- Trusted certifications like EWG Verified, Made Safe Certified or USDA Organic (read more about certifications here)
- Fragrance-free or lightly scented with natural essential oils
- Made with natural and organic ingredients (synthetic preservatives may be necessary in some products for safety)
- No animal testing

Lane & Holly @ With Two Spoons says
I actually use a lot of these products for myself (we’re past the baby stage in my house) although my blog partner is due any minute! Maybe I’ll make her a basket of these great products! Thanks for the great ideas!
Micaela says
I’m in the same boat – my babies are teens – but I still use some of these baby products because they are so darn nice! Earth Mama Angel Baby lotion smells SO good and Little Twig lavender body was is great in the shower!
Elizabeth says
Thanks for this list. It’s very helpful. Just one less thing to think about.
Micaela says
Thanks Elizabeth – exactly what I’m hoping for! Us moms have so many other things to worry about!
Erin Latham says
Thank you for such a wonderful and detailed list. Would love to see Beautycounter’s baby collection added to it!
Micaela says
Good idea Erin! I’ll probably do another, similar post soon and Beautycounter would be a great one to include!
Max says
I’m really glad that you talked about natural baby products not having the chemicals and ingredients that are linked to hormone issues and negative health effects. I want to take really good care of and protect our baby from everything that we can, and I think that natural products are a great way to do that. I’m going to have to do everything we can to use all natural products to help take care of our baby, so we don’t have to worry about any health problems down the road from these harmful ingredients!
Jenni Samual says
Thanks Micaela, Your guidance is very useful. Baby’s skin is sensitive than adults, so it is so important to be careful while choosing baby products.
ravi says
This is AWESOME!!!! Thank you so much for putting this together.
Micaela says
Glad you find it helpful!
Diane Price says
This really came at a crucial time for me…just yesterday I talking with my husband that I want to switch to organic baby products. Thanks so much for writing this!
Micaela says
Happy you found it!
Valinda says
Do you have any recommendations for baby products that don’t come in plastic? I have been looking but most brands still pack everything in plastic even though the content is organic. It feel contradicting.
Micaela says
That’s a good question Valinda. I think the main reason baby products come packaged in plastic is because people are afraid to use glass around babies or in the bath. It’s so hard to find the right balance. One company I like is ATTITUDE because they offer refill boxes so you can refill the plastic bottles of baby and bath products. https://mindfulmomma.com/ATTITUDE
