Best Body Washes for Babies

Time-saving

The rinse-free gentle formula removes a major step from bathtime and allows for quick spot cleanings.

With a hypoallergenic formula that is intended to be left on instead of rinsed away, this body wash works well for fussy newborns or babies with sensitive skin. It doubles as a moisturizer, and adding it to the tub produces a satisfying bubble bath. Some customers even use this body wash on themselves.
