A little goes a long way. It’s moisturising and gentle on skin and best of all does not irritate my sons sensitive skin. I will continue to keep buying this it is a staple in my house.” – beautyheaven member stephanieleanne”

Cetaphil Baby Shampoo
You say: “I have used this shampoo for my son since he was a tiny bub, after he reacted to other products, even those that were marketed towards those with sensitive skin. The shampoo is a transparent gel texture. It leaves a mild pleasant fragrance, and lathers easily but not excessively. His hair is soft and lovely after a wash, and he hasn’t had any apparent reactions to the product. Happy to continue using this one.” – beautyheaven member sherlene

The QV bath oil is good but over time, it leaves an oily residue on the bathtub so just have to remember to clean the bath tub!
