Go Clean With Baby Bath & Skincare
- Switch to non-toxic baby shampoos and body washes like Pipette, Evereden, or Babo Botanicals
- Moisturize with simple, plant-based balms or fragrance-free lotions
- Avoid products with parabens, sulfates, artificial dyes, and strong fragrances
- Less is more: stick to essentials with transparent ingredient lists.
Reusable Baby Gear That Reduces Waste
- Cloth bibs and burp cloths instead of paper napkins or wipes
- Silicone snack bags and reusable baby spoons
- Glass or stainless steel bottles that outlast plastic
- Sustainable gear isn’t just safer for your baby—it’s better for your wallet, too.
Buy Fewer, Better Baby Clothes
- Shop organic cotton baby clothes made with GOTS-certified fabric
- Choose neutral tones and unisex fits that grow with your baby or can be reused
- Support small, eco-conscious brands like Dandillie that focus on quality over quantity

Eco-Friendly Cleaning for Baby's Environment

- DIY cleaners using vinegar, water, and essential oils (lavender or lemon)
A low-tox home supports respiratory health and reduces chemical exposure.
