Wash Benefits for Baby & You:
  • 1

    No Soap, No Suds

    Our formula uses aloe vera and sunflower seed oil instead of sudsing soap and detergents, so you won’t see any bubbles while you wash up. Don’t worry, you’re still getting a deep cleanse! Read more about how overcleansing with soap has created our modern skincare crises on our blog SOUL, the School of UnLearning.

    Safe for the Buds

    The world’s first certified Microbiome-Friendly baby wash and lotion, Wash offers a gentle yet effective cleanse that won’t strip baby's skin of its natural oils or healthy and helpful bacteria, aka flora.

    Flor-al Purposes

    Get more from your shower gel. Wash works effectively as a body and baby wash, a light moisturizer, facial primer, shaving cream, and post-sun balm. Whew! The shorter list is what it can't do. Strip down your routine instead of your skin.

    Back to Basics

    Wash is safe for the whole body, even the most delicate areas. Not only is it certified Microbiome-Friendly for you and baby, it's proven to support the microorganisms specific to the vulva and vagina. Wash has helped thousands of customers soothe and heal their dry skin, eczema, bacterial vaginosis, and yeast infections by cleansing the body without disrupting its natural microbial superpowers.

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
  • Love love love Wash for my baby (9 months old). His skin feels amazing after and it's so gentle. Smells incredible without being overpowering.

  • I’ve been using Cleanse for years and now my teenage/pre-teen daughters are hooked. It’s been helping them avoid the severe acne I struggled with at their age. They both have lovely, clear skin.

  • I absolutely love Wash. So many uses. My favorite part though is using it on my 2 baby boys. Any diaper rash or skin irritation is cleared up over night.

  • Wash is the perfect product for mom and baby. I am breastfeeding and wanted a natural product. I feel safe having my baby latch and am confident that I'm not bothering his flora with the products I'm using on myself.

  • I have been using their whole line for years and I won’t use anything else. I use it on myself and my kids. My 4 year old is obsessed with facial night, and I don’t stress that I’m putting a bunch of crap on her perfect skin!

The Lifesaving Power of Sunflower Oil

A 2022 study showed the application of sunflower seed oil (SSO) to the skin of low birth weight infants resulted in a 52% reduction in mortality.

SSO mimics the skin’s own oils, helping skin repair or replace its moisture barrier — one of your body’s first defenses against pathogenic bacteria.
