How "Natural" is Aveeno Baby Wash?

One of the most used baby washes in America, branded to seem safe and natural- what a surprise when I read the list, chock full of chemicals.

Heres the ingredient list- Fragrance(s)/perfume(s) Tetrasodium EDTA ,Water ,Sodium laureth sulfate ,PEG-150 distearate ,Polysorbate 20, 3-Iodo-2-propynylbutylcarbamate ,Cocoamidopropylbetaine .Oat extract ,Sodium lauroampho PG-acetate phosphate

Was the marginal amount of Oat extract to pull the wool? Or does it really show benefits.
Nothing like a genuine oatmeal bath to make skin feel luxuriously smooth- although its a leisure option only..

Are there other alternatives, yes, but you need to have time and energy to search them out. And above all, you need to be informed.

try this Homemade Oatmeal Bath - Quick Method


Place 2 cups of Quick or Old Fashioned Oats into one leg of a nylon stocking; close with knot.

Place stocking under faucet; turn water on to full force, using warm water at a comfortable temperature. When finished filling tub, "swirl" stocking back & forth through water 5 or 6 times.

Lift stocking above water and wring to squeeze water and starch out of stocking. Discard stocking.

Soak in tub for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently pat dry.
FOR INFANTS: Use 1/3 cup oats. Soak infant (in infant bath tub) for 10 minutes.

Blender/Food Processor Method

Place 1 cup Quick or Old Fashioned Oats into food processor or blender; grind oats into finest powder possible.

Turn water on to full force, using warm water at a comfortable temperature. Slowly sprinkle oat powder under running water.

Stir water thoroughly to avoid clumping or settling. Soak in tub for 15 to 20 minutes.
