Beyond the listing
One reviewer with a young child found this body wash too heavily fragranced and not tear-free as expected, requiring more product than gentler alternatives and leaving them uncertain about cleaning effectiveness. Others praise Dove baby products more broadly for being gentle and note the sulfate-free, glycerin-rich formula appeals to those with sensitive or problematic skin, though some cited it alongside other recommended brands without detailed feedback specific to this product.
Holds up elsewhere
- sulfate-free with glycerin base
- gentle on sensitive skin
Comes up as a drawback
- heavily fragranced despite sensitive-skin label
- requires excessive product amount
- not actually tear-free as advertised
- may not clean as effectively as needed
