Did you know that the skin barrier of babies up to 5 months of age is not fully developed yet? That means that their skin is more permeable – and therefore, more sensitive – compared to adult skin (see "References" or read more HERE).

Our 5-Ingredient Baby Soap was designed specifically for babies and sensitive skin because it contains just that – only 5 ingredients (see "Ingredients"):

Grass-fed beef tallow – nutrient-dense with mild cleansing properties, gentle enough for the most sensitive of skin
Organic extra-virgin olive oil – widely known to be one of the most gentle skin cleansers, alongside grass-fed beef tallow; ideal for babies and sensitive skin, olive oil in soap offers excellent skin conditioning and makes for a long-lasting bar of soap that continually improves in hardness and strength over time
Organic shea butter – rich in vitamin C, with both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity
Papaya – high in minerals and vitamins E, A, C, and B; an antioxidant-heavy fruit that has been recognized for its skin-healing powers

The oval, egg-like shape of the full size bar is rounded at all edges for comfortable holding and for minimizing baby encounters with sharp-edged soap! Mesh Soap Saver Pouch is not included with purchase of this soap but may be added to cart seperately (available HERE).

This soap contains NO fragrance (although none of our soaps contain fragrance – read more HERE why products with fragrance are not recommended for babies or sensitive skin).

This soap is additionally free of any essential oils, so any (mild) scent that may be detected in the soap is naturally occurring from shea butter and banana.

For all the reasons listed above (and more) – this soap is also excellent for anyone with sensitive skin (kids or adults!) to try. Makes a thoughtful and unique gift for anyone with babies, eczema, or sensitive skin.

Use soap for hands, face, baths, and showers – where you can also pair it with one of our 5-Ingredient Baby Shampoos HERE. If you like this soap, you may also like our other 5-Ingredient Baby Soap that comes in Banana (available HERE).

Our soaps contain natural & organic ingredients – no parabens, sulfates, silicones, or synthetic fragrances. If you or your baby are allergy-prone, we advise reading the ingredient list (see "Ingredients") first and doing a small patch-test before using on the whole body.
