A natural baby wash made with olive and coconut oil to gently cleanse without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
Soft and gentle cleansing, leaving the skin feeling pampered and nourished. Can also be used to safely wash baby's head and hair.
Infused with the very best pure organic rose geranium and chamomile essential oils to bring calm and nourishment your baby's skin.
When formulated into a Castile-based liquid soap like the Olive Leaf Skin Care Baby Wash, the addition of Castor Oil and the pure essential oils of Chamomile and Rose Geranium serves to dramatically improve the product's performance.
Because a baby’s skin is up to 30% thinner than an adult's, it loses moisture rapidly. These three specific ingredients work in harmony to elevate the wash from a basic cleanser into a deeply therapeutic, skin-cushioning treatment.
Baby Wash 300ml
Olive Leaf Skin Care Baby Wash is an ultra-mild, plant-based cleanser featuring cold-pressed olive oil for lipid replenishment, pure organic Chamomile for calming and anti-inflammatory protection, and refined coconut oil for gentle cleansing. It effectively moisturises dry skin, prevents cradle cap, and soothes eczema by avoiding harsh detergents. For best results, massage a small amount onto wet skin, or use as a bubble bath under running water.
By combining the dense, lipid-trapping shield of Castor Oil with the heavy anti-inflammatory power of Chamomile and the antimicrobial safety of Rose Geranium, Olive Leaf Skin Care ensures this baby wash cleanses safely. It prevents the skin from drying out, targets environmental rash triggers, and turns bath time into a calming, sleepy nighttime ritual.

** Only the purest 100% Organic Essential Oils are used in our products.1. Castor Oil: The Rich Lather & Humectant Booster
In traditional natural liquid soap making, relying only on olive and coconut oils can sometimes create a wash that feels thin or slightly too stripping for an infant. Castor oil fixes this structurally:
Creates a Creamy, Cushioned Lather: Castor oil is rich in a rare fatty acid called ricinoleic acid. When saponified, it provides natural, dense, and velvety bubbles. This allows the baby wash to glide over the skin effortlessly, drastically reducing friction and rubbing during bath time.
Acts as a Deep Humectant: Unlike synthetic soaps that wash away and leave skin dry, castor oil acts as a moisture magnet. It draws water from the bath directly into the epidermis, leaving a micro-thin, breathable layer of protection that stops post-bath flakiness.
2. Chamomile Essential Oil: The Ultimate Redness Eraser
Chamomile is globally recognised as one of the safest and most therapeutic botanicals for infant care.
Calms Active Skin Inflammation: Packed with natural bisabolol and chamazulene, chamomile works at a cellular level to block skin stress signals. It takes the painful sting, heat, and itch out of angry diaper rashes, heat rash, or severe eczema flare-ups.
Soothes the Nervous System: From an aromatherapy perspective, the gentle, apple-like herbal scent of chamomile helps lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels. Using it during an evening bath physically relaxes a fussy baby and prepares their nervous system for a deep sleep.
3. Rose Geranium Essential Oil: The Microbe Shield & Tissue Healer
Rose Geranium is a local South African botanical favourite that balances the entire formulation.
Natural Antimicrobial Protection: Diaper zones and skin folds are breeding grounds for yeast, fungi, and bacteria. Rose Geranium possesses potent, natural antibacterial and antifungal properties that gently sanitise the skin without the need for harsh synthetic chemicals.
Balances and Heals the Skin Barrier: It acts as a mild, cellular-level tissue toner. It speeds up the closing of micro-tears in scratched skin, evens out surface hydration, and helps regulate natural sebum production, making it highly effective at preventing the crusty buildup of cradle cap

Here is exactly how to use this gentle wash to protect your baby's delicate skin barrier:
1. In the Bath (As a Gentle Soak)
The Method: Squirt 2 to 3 pumps of the baby wash directly under warm, running bath water.
What to Expect: Do not expect a massive mountain of synthetic, fluffy bubbles. Because this formula uses pure saponified vegetable oils rather than industrial detergents, it creates a soft, milky, low-foaming lather.
The Benefit: This milky water gently cleanses your baby’s skin while they splash around, reducing the need for heavy scrubbing which can irritate sensitive skin or flare up eczema.
2. For Direct Body Cleansing
The Method: Wet your baby’s skin first. Pump a small amount of the wash into your palms or onto a soft, 100% cotton washcloth, rub your hands together to create a light lather, and gently massage it over their limbs and torso.
The Technique: Always use gentle, circular wiping motions rather than vigorous scrubbing. The natural coconut oil base lifts away dirt and diaper-zone grime effortlessly on contact.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm bath water.
3. Treating and Preventing Cradle Cap
The Method: If your little one has cradle cap (dry, flaky, or yellowish scales on the scalp), pump a single drop of the wash directly onto their damp head.
The Technique: Use a very soft baby hairbrush or your fingertips to massage the wash into the scalp in circular motions for about 60 seconds.
The Benefit: The extra virgin olive oil inside the wash works to naturally soften and loosen the stubborn crusty flakes, while the antimicrobial properties of the olive leaf and the Rose Geranium soothe the underlying scalp inflammation without stripping the hair follicles.
4. Cleansing Sensitive Diaper Rash Zones
The Method: When your baby has an active, red, or painful diaper rash, standard commercial wipes and fragranced soaps can cause intense stinging. Instead, use a pump of this wash mixed with warm water on a soft cloth to clean the area during bath time.
The Benefit: The anti-inflammatory oleuropein from the olive and the chamomile act as a calming shield, cleaning the area safely while taking the angry sting and redness out of the irritated skin.
