I was always skeptical to use the soaps for an infant. During my childhood, my grandmother and mom used yogurt and milk for us. So, they always mentioned to keep babies away from market soaps which are full of chemicals and are not natural.
I still believe that in the initial months, your baby skin is delicate and doesn’t require the soaps or lotions on daily basis. You don’t have to bathe your baby every day. Two times bath a week is sufficient to keep your baby clean.
Himalaya has a good range of bath soaps that are friendly with your child’s skin. When I tried Himalaya baby soap, I liked its mild fragrance and smoothness. Himalaya bath soap is soft, chemical-free and moisture level is really good which keeps your child’s skin smooth and soft.

Not so good
- Even though Himalaya claims its herbal and natural but keep it away from baby’s eyes during the bath. It may irritate your child’s sensitive eyes.
Before buying any skin care product for my child, I always check the ingredients list. I never prefer to buy the products in which I couldn’t recognize the ingredients.
Always buy the products in which ingredients are natural and herbal and free from artificial fragrance.
Initially, I used the johnson & johnson’s product for my son as it was provided by the hospital in the “child welcome kit” in USA. But it didn’t take much time for me to switch from johnson to Himalaya products once I checked the ingredients of johnson.
If you are thinking, why you need to move from Johnsons to Himalaya…
