"This gentle Baby Bath is affordable. It smells good enough to eat and does not contain any drying detergents. Halos N Horns advice to avoid all products on babies for the first month of life is printed on this product. This was a groundbreaking step when this product was launched, and this message continues to set the standard for all baby skincare product manufacturers. The website provides parents with quality information about skincare for babies and children. Overall this product offers great value for money. Available in all major supermarkets, Halos N Horns products offer a refreshing approach to the manufacture and marketing of baby and toddler skincare products".                        Sharon Trotter, skin care adviser, Dec 2009

"Brilliant products!"
"My little girl has always had skin problems since birth. It used to be really dry and flaky and sometimes sore and rashy and I went through so many products from the doctors, then I discovered these products and within a matter of a few days her skin had improved dramatically. So thank you for such amazing products. I will not use anything else now!"

"Lovley fruity smell"
"Really liked the packaging, it was very easy to use as it was already facing downwards and I really liked the flip-top. The writing was clear, easy to read and understand.

The product came out of the bottle well, not too fast or slow, there was no messy build up at the opening after squeezing the product out, it smelt really nice, very different to other baby products but not too strong.

I liked that it was made especially for babies with sensitive skin.

I felt that there were not enough bubbles and I did run it under running water and try more amounts of it each time but still not enough bubbles.

I would recommend to a friend because of the lovely fruity smell".

Hi Virdi, sorry you were disappointed there were not enough bubbles. This is because we have removed lots of unnecessary ingredients one of them being Sodium Laureth / Lauryl Sulphate (SLS/SLES). These are very common and are used in many toiletries to make them foam and bubble. Other manufactures use them as they are cheap however they can cause skin irritation or aggravate serious conditions like dermatitis or eczema. They're harsh detergent that can strip the skin and hair of its natural oils. Halos N Horns use a plant based natural alternative for a gentler product, which is why you won't get a mega foamy bath.

"Perfect for her skin"
"I thought the packaging was really nice and bright, I would have preferred a pump.

It smelled lovely and leaves my daughters hair smelling lovely for ages!! I did find it hard to lather up.

My nine month old daughter suffers from eczema and I found this bath wash prefect for her skin. Other washes I've tried leaves her skin red after a bath but this made her skin a bit calmer.

I would recommend this product to a friend".

"I Love Halo N Horns !!!"
"After years of struggling with eczema both my children were born with (surprise surprise) eczema! Hubby also suffers. We cannot thank you at Halo N Horns enough for such a fantastic product, it has changed our lifes! Hubby's skin is clear for the first time in years and both our children never use anything else. Have recommended it to all our friends and family".

"Lovely, fizzy, fruity fragrance"
"The packaging of the product is nice and bright with the Halos N Horns logo clear to see, along with the 'Baby Care' branding and the name of the product. The front states that it is for angelic souls (which fits my son most of the time), Dermapedic (but I'm not really sure what that means), kind to eyes and hypoallergenic.

The back states that the product is free of any nasties like SLS, Phthalates, MIT, Parabens, Triclosan, Propylene Glycol and SLES. I was pleased to see this as I do worry about baby products which contain these things. It also states that the baby bath can be used as an all over body wash which is great for us as I like to use one product for everything at bathtime. This product, most importantly, isn't tested on any animals which is a very important factor for me.

The baby bath is presented in a large, soft, plastic tube with a bright blue flip cap, measuring 250ml, this makes the bottle easy to use. I was able to open it and squeeze the amount I needed into my son's bath with one hand, something that is always useful when you have a slippery, wriggling baby to contend with!"

When you squeeze the baby bath out it comes out slowly as it is quite thick. The baby bath is a pearly white colour and lathers really well and quickly when combined with water. It has a lovely, fizzy, fruity fragrance which is quite different to most baby products which generally just smell soapy. I used it as both a baby bath and a wash on a sponge and was really satisfied with the results".

The baby bath was nice and bubbly and the wash got my little boy's skin and hair lovely and clean. He also smelled delicious when he was out of the bath, all dry and ready for bed. His skin also felt really soft after his bath."

I'd definitely recommend this product to friends. It is a big tube which will last a long time as a little of the baby bath goes a long way. I've seen it at around £3 in supermarkets and cheaper than that on promotion so I think it is definitely worth buying."

"It's really helped his skin"
"I've recently discovered your products and think they're great. My friend recommended them to me as her son has really sensitive skin and it's really helped him. Keep up the good work!"

"What I like most? ­The things it doesn’t have in it!"
"The packaging is good and it has the added bonus of becoming a bath toy once it is finished. 

I like the fact that it doesn’t have a strong smell.  It is great that it is a subtle smell.  I wish more household products would lessen their perfume.  It is also mild enough for my childrens skin.  2 suffer from Eczema and the other one has sensitive skin.  The consistency is fine.  The only complaint that my children have is that it doesn’t produce many bubbles.  The few it does produce go very quickly.  They compare it to my husbands radox baths which have lots of bubbles!

"What I like most are the things it doesn’t have in it!

It would be good if it had lavender in it as my children have a bath before bed and would have the added advantage of making them smell horrible to head lice!

I would definitely (and have) recommend it to a friend".

"Our skins don't itch anymore which is so refreshing!"
"Just thought I’d mail you to say how much we love your range. My son and I have mild eczema and I decided to use sls/sles/paraben free products.  I could only find them online to start with so it was costing me a bomb but now I’ve found you in ASDA.  I'm delighted!  Just so you know, now we're just using Halos N Horns and our skins don't itch anymore which is so refreshing!"
