The verdict

This nighttime wash works well for some children's sensitive skin and curly hair, but causes irritation, hives, or eye burning in a notable number of babies—worth testing carefully before committing to a full bottle.

What parents love

  • gentle on sensitive skin and eczema
  • doesn't dry out curly hair
  • tear-free formula
  • helps toddlers feel sleepy

Worth knowing

  • causes skin irritation and rashes
  • triggers hives in some babies
  • burns eyes
  • pump design is faulty
  • odd plastic smell

Safety check — clear

We cross-checked this product and its manufacturer against CPSC recall notices, NHTSA child-seat recalls, FDA recalls and the AAP's safe-sleep criteria on August 31, 2026, and found no active recall or safe-sleep concern. That is a check of the public recall record, not a test of the product.

We looked for independent reviews and didn't find any

We searched the review sites and video channels we normally draw on, and found listings and product descriptions rather than anyone's actual experience. That's usually a sign this is a commodity — the ratings above are real, and beyond them there isn't much to weigh up. Buy the cheap one.

Not sure you need this at all?

We take no commission on anything here, so we can say what most lists won't: a good deal of standard baby gear is skippable, borrowable, or actively discouraged by current safety guidance.
