10 Best Baby Shampoos UK 2024 | Paediatrician Reviewed

They say nothing in life is perfect, but this shampoo comes pretty close! The list of great ingredients included in this product is as long as your arm. With aloe vera, coco-glucoside, flower extract and so much more it is simply brilliant for every type of skin, and dermatologically-approved for peace of mind. 

Moreover, it's 99% natural and 50% organic, it comes with eco-friendly packaging, there's no animal testing, and it's even made on our own British shores. For all that excellence you think you'd have to pay an arm and a leg, but even that's not the case. This baby shampoo sails to our top spot!

Even as adults we don't like getting soap in our eyes, because, well, it hurts! So can we blame our littles ones for wriggling about when they see the shampoo come out? Luckily, with Burt's Bees baby shampoo and wash, those splash tantrums will become a thing of the past. 

It's also paediatrician tested and contains no sulphates, parabens, or SLS. What the natural formula does contain, however, is a handful of enriching components including soy protein and sunflower oil that will cleanse and leave baby's hair, scalp, and skin super-smooth and subtly-scented. 

With a formula that has been perfected over 125 years, this offering from Johnson's is sure to be mild, soft and soothing. This shampoo again uses their trusty 'no more tears' ingredients list, guaranteeing a pleasant and stress-free bath time for all. 

As well as being both paediatrician and dermatologist tested, this product is easily the most reviewed baby shampoo on websites such as Tesco, ASDA and Boots, all of which have favourable scrutiny, showing just how loved it is by parents up and down the country. 

Suitable for newborns and up, this organic detangling shampoo has aromas reminiscent of a classic childhood sweet, which may well make the hair washing process a little easier! It's dermatologist and paediatrician approved too, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or eczema. 

Child's Farm are a great company, doing right not just by your children but by the environment and the animals we share it with too, as this shampoo is vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. Who says you can't look after everyone? 

Suitable as both a body and head wash, this shampoo from Aveeno will gently cleanse your baby without leaving the skin feeling dry. It's enriched with all-natural organic oats which will help soak up the excess oil on the skin, therefore it's a wise choice if your baby is known to be a little oily. 

The formula works for sensitive skin, too, and is paraben- and soap-free. With dozens of parents singing its praises online, you don't just have to take our word that it works, why not check it out?

This dermatologically-tested baby shampoo is made without any nasties whatsoever, so you can rest assured it's kind, comforting and perfect for delicate skin. The long list of magical ingredients also make it perfect for all skin types. 

Moreover, the orange neroli and lavender extracts make this a wonderfully-smelling product without the addition of parfum. This would surely be a total winner if it didn't have such a high price, and for such a small bottle too. We know sometimes you get what you pay for, but this might be a bit much for the average family. 

This product, which includes Johnson's patented NaturalCalm combination of extracts and essences, is guaranteed to be a welcome addition to any bedtime routine. The company claim it should help gently ease them on their way to dreamland.

At an affordable price, it's one of the best deals in our ranking, so it'd be great for families with more than one baby or child as well as those on a budget. Plus, their tried-and-tested no more tears formula is apparently as gentle on the eyes as pure water!

Did you know that a baby's skin can lose moisture up to five times faster than an adults? Picking up a shampoo that's rich in moisturising qualities is one way to help replenish those essential nutrients in the scalp. The consistency of this product is less soap-like and more lotion-like so it's lovely and soothing. 

Furthermore, it has a 'no-tears' formula so you don't have to worry if a little gets into their eyes. The only downside is the inclusion of parfum, which may be a little overpowering both in how it feels on the babies skin and how much smell it brings to the table. 

This shampoo is all about harnessing the power of nature, with a big emphasis on herbal extracts, seed oils, and plant oils including vitamin E, almond, and coconut. The formula is great for dry scalps and clearing up cradle cap, and is also ideal for curly-haired babies as it will hydrate and reduce frizz. 

All these natural extracts mean it smells wonderful too, and it's pH balanced to be suitable for the rest of the family if you'd like to share! The ingredients list is as saintly as they come, with even the parfum coming from natural sources, but there's no denying the price tag won't appeal to everyone. 

Getting the ball rolling in our ranking is this 100% organic baby bath wash and shampoo from Neal's Yard. Infused with lavender and chamomile, plus other flower and vegetable extracts, this product is more than suitable to take care of your baby's delicate skin. 

The formula is also paraben- and silicone-free and does not contain any synthetic fragrance or colours. Unfortunately, this product is only suitable for babies over 13 weeks old, so if you have a newborn you will need to find another product for the first few months.
