Avoid conventional bubble bath products made with toxic, artificial ingredients. Surfactants and other ingredients are too strong and strip the baby’s skin oil and microbiome. These toxic ingredients cause Problems with a baby’s scalp and skin. Foam, fragrance, and silkiness are a sensory marketing strategy that employs chemicals to please the mother. Remember the Johnson & Johnson scandal with their baby shampoo?
❌ “Tear-free” products that contain the ingredients commonly used to make products tear-free are actually harmful to the eyes. These ingredients include anesthetizing agents such as synthetic alkyl polyethoxylates and/or alkylphenol polyethoxylates. The tear-free washes contain a chemical numbing agent in the formula. Avoid that!
❌ Alkyl ingredients: temporarily numb the eye so that the sting of the shampoo is not felt, and prevent the eye from forming a tear to flush away irritants. These ingredients are typically used in pesticide products to anesthetize insects, and they can penetrate the skin and cause organ toxicity in people.
❌ Fragrance: toxic mysterious mix made with undisclosed ingredients.
❌Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine: makes the product foam
❌ Benzisothiazolinone: Classified as irritant
❌ Cetrimonium Chloride: human toxicant or allergen, reproductive toxicity in animals, environmental
Avoid greenwashing bubble bath made by brands that pretend to be safer, organic, natural or sustainable when they are not. They will use marketing tricks to convince you to buy their products.
Popular “natural” baby shampoos employ essential oils, quaternary ammonium film formers, fragrances, polyethylene glycols (PEGs) foam boosters, sodium hydroxide, mineral oil, phenoxyethanol, and more.
❌ Sodium Benzoate: Sodium Benzoate has the ability to convert to benzene, a known carcinogen. Benzene can form in soda and other drinks that contain both sodium benzoate and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Exposure to heat and light, as well as longer storage periods, can increase benzene levels. Classified 3 on ewg.org, identified as capable of causing contact urticaria
❌ Potassium Sorbate: This is considered a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
❌ Ethylhexylglyceryn: Classified as an irritant, Harmonized classification: This substance causes serious eye damage, Severe eye damage observed in animal testing, classified as a mild skin irritant based on animal tests.
❌ Phenoxyethanol: Classified as an irritant, toxic, and harmful. Allowed workplace exposures restricted to low doses, can have adverse effects on the central and peripheral nervous systems. Phenoxyethanol is linked to allergic contact urticaria and dermatitis.
❌ Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract (GSE): considered toxic because of multiple, additive exposure sources (low), Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs) (low), and Contamination concerns (high).
❌ Citric Acid: Manufactured citric acid (MCA) is derived from a mold. “Approximately 99% of the world’s production of MCA is carried out using the fungus Aspergillus niger, a known allergen, identified merely as “citric acid” in ingredients lists. The FDA has generally considered it safe, but no scientific studies were performed to evaluate the safety of MCA when ingested in substantial amounts and with chronic exposure.” Depends on which citric acid method a company wants to use. A synthetic option or a natural one. Synthetic is cheaper. You can ask a company what processes they use. Certificate of Authenticity COA

Removes chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, THMs, pesticides, sulfur, heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide ("rotten egg" odor), iron oxides ("rust water"), dirt, sediment, and other odors while balancing pH & de-chlorinating! It works by filtering the water through stages of our ERA® 6500 and ERA® 9500 media. The results? The healthiest, most refreshing bath experience in addition to smoother, softer skin and hair that is less dry. Your tub and shower area will be cleaner too! The unique drop-down filter design allows for a substantial amount of filtration media, enabling more contact time with the water.

I don't recommend Babo Botanicals Bubble Bath
Babo Botanicals once founded in 2010 by Kate Solomona, a young mother looking for safe and natural products for her children. It was bought out later by Laboratoires Expanscience
which plans to access the US market for its other brand Mustella.
The goal of Babo Botanicals' purchase is to accelerate Mustela's growth in the U.S.
They are reformulating Babo Botanicals products using lower-quality ingredients, getting closer to Mustella's cheaper quality.
