10 Of The Best Baby and Toddler Shampoos In Australia In 2024

10 Of The Best Baby Shampoos In Australia In 2023

Don’t we all just love that sweet smell of a new baby? And what better way to keep that gorgeous baby hair looking and smelling fresh than with a beautiful, gentle baby shampoo. 

But not just any baby shampoo.

A good baby or toddler shampoo can help loosen up those foods, oils, and anything else those chubby little hands rub into their own hair. However as it tends to remove oils, some baby shampoos can also be incredibly drying. That’s why it’s important to choose the right one - a baby shampoo that is gentle enough to use regularly without drying out baby’s scalp and hair. 

Whilst every baby is going to be different - there’s no one size fits all - we’ve included some of our best shampoos right here starting with the most important things you need to look out for when choosing your favourite baby shampoo to cleanse and condition baby's hair.

What are the important things to look for in your baby shampoo?

Tear-free:

Opting for tear-free shampoo is unlikely to be irritating to the baby’s eyes.

Great for curls!

Many shampoos are specifically created to help tame curly hair, and can make the hair washing experience a more positive experience for the whole family!

Fragrance-free or gentle fragrance:

A fragrance-free baby shampoo keeps nasty odour away and makes it less irritating for babies.

Phthalate-free:

Selecting baby shampoos that are phthalate-free boost healthy hair growth.

Sulfate-free:

Retaining moisture and avoiding drying of scalps is essential.

Natural ingredients used:

Babies are relaxed with natural, soothing ingredients incorporated into their skincare products.
