Honey Babe Shampoo & Wash Review

Wow where do I start! I could honestly sing this gentle no tears shampoo and body washes praises from the roof top! I guess we start with the adorable eye catching image of a baby sleeping on a Mānuka flower while floating in a pool of honey, to the packaging and bottle which are both simple, sweet, uncluttered but with all the relevant information right there for you to see. The bottle comes with a convenient pump too so you only need one hand to get the product out of the bottle! We all know bathing a baby can be difficult without making it harder by struggling holding your baby & trying to squeeze the soap out of the bottle. The smell is divine it reminds me of sherbert fizz lollies - I couldn’t stop smelling my babies hair after using it. Mmmmmm baby smell & candy. I found that since I had my little girl I have had a bit of dandruff so I thought hey I’ll give it a try and after a couple of times using it my dandruff is nearly gone! Yay!! So just when you think surely this stuff can’t get any better ..... Wait there’s more! It’s NOT tested on animals, it’s parables free, Made in New Zealand and comes in recyclable packaging! It’s also all natural ingredients are a great bonus for any Mum worried about their babies skin - the ingredients are Mānuka honey, Mānuka oil, Aloe Vera & Calendula. So not only is it all natural it is perfect for your babies sensitive skin it is also kind to the environment!

Lovely, gentle smelling hair and bodywash that leaves baby with a nice sweet scent all day. The packaging for this product is nice and simple - pump bottles make everything a bit easier when manhandling slippery children! The product smells fantastic and does the job I just wish it would lather a bit more in hair (probably not necessary but I like a good lather). I'll definitely purchase this once it runs out as I prefer this to the Mustella one I'm currently using.

This shampoo is totally sulfate free now if you have read my reviews about sulfates and how they can strip your hair and scalp of your own natural moisture and protective barrier you will know what I am talking about. There is a lot of good things in this product just like the cream and the oil but a few things to consider if you are thinking of buying this product. One is; because it is sulfate free there are next to no bubbles this means it does not feel as though you are getting a deep proper clean because it is gentle and therefore very greasy hair, residue of products and things like paint or fatty meals that can get stuck in your little ones hair may not come out easily with this product. I tried this one on my own hair and even though I have fine hair I gave up after several pumps of the 140ml bottle. I realized that I would need to use a heck of a lot to do my whole hair & scalp which was oily at the time because it would not lather much if at all. Unless you have short hair or a dry scalp this is not really one for adults or it could be but you will need to use lots more than your regular shampoo however the composition and nutrients in the product make up for this. Baby has curly hair and this works nicely on her and I researched the additives and they are great for skin & hair growth. By hydrating nourishing softening and promoting fast healing. It is gently anti-bacterial, anti-fungal soothing- ideal and gentle enough for healing cradle cap, dandruff, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and irritated inflammed or sensitive skin/scalp. Skin will also become thickened making a gentle barrier protecting from environmental stress and locking in moisture. The additives may also brighten your little ones hair too and stimulate faster hair growth. This product would be ideal for some one suffering from hair loss and or poor blood circulation. The shampoo comes in a little pump bottle but it can be closed so you can travel with it too. The shampoo is 100% natural, not tested on animals, has no mineral oil parabens and made in NZ from ethically sourced stuff. The plastic bottles can be recycled too. The only reasons it looses points is, it is not really a multipurpose product like the oil and cream but you could try to use it as a face cleanser or body wash the product is not great for money if you find you require to use alot of it in one wash. The smell is not something I am a fan of it sort of reminds me of a corriander hair care range I have reviewed still, it is fresh and smells nice on my daughter. That aside this is a excellent safe healthy product and I like using it on my child knowing I am promoting her hair and skin health.

this is one of the best products ive ever used on my baby , i like how you cant smell it until you actually use it and the smell isnt overwhelming , i love how its in a pump bottle instead of trying to open it and squeeze it into my hand its more convinient to use when its in a pump bottle , i needed quite a couple of pumps to cover my baby and it came out nice and smooth and not overly runny. i feel like this would last me a month which is fine , it is definitely going to be what i use on my baby from now on

I love how it provides maximum and nourishing care for my baby's delicate skin. Before, I would find her with red and weepy eyes during bath time (which was caused by the baby wash we used to bathe her with, now I understand), but now everything's changed. I've noticed how our little bubba is enjoying bath time upon using this product. She honestly smells better with this too!

Out of the 3 beautiful Honey Babe products I have been lucky enough to trial and use, this particular one, as lovely as it smells didn't quite hit the mark for me personally. It comes in a pump top bottle, which I didn't really like, however I can see how the pump top is handy to use when busy bathing your child. The shampoo and wash is definately a very gentle and tear free formula, which is a big plus. However I think it works best as a baby body wash or bubble bath (This stuff makes good bubbles) but not so much a shampoo. I used it 3 times to shampoo my sons hair and it just seemed to dry it out. I'm not too sure why, whether it is the product or just my son, but I ended up using it as a bubble bath and that worked great. The bottle is small, I would call it travel sized. I'm unsure if this is a mini version or the full sized product. Overall a nice baby bath/wash but I can't recommend as a shampoo.

I was so skeptical about being for both hair and body but was surprised. Was gentle on my sons delicate skin and super moisterising on my daughters dry curly hair.

The pump bottle is epic gives a great amount of product so no wastage. Also great when bathing slippery baby

Its not super lathery but lathers enough so not over drying which is important. Especially given its fragranced as per its name with honey.

Great product will definitely be repurchasing nice to have another natural based option as we use so much baby wash.

This product leaves my baby’s hair soft and smelling so nice! The shampoo has a slight texture that I find exfoliates gently any cradle cap away. I prefer to use it with a baby brush to create a lather to really clean the hair. It has a lovely natural fragrance that lasts a few days until the next wash. One pump is enough for my 6 month olds hair for a good wash so I can imagine this product lasting a good while! I find my other baby shampoos have quite a strong scent and aren’t natural so if you prefer a lighter scent and natural products this shampoo is for you. I love the pump style packing, so practical and easy! Would recommend to all my friends with a baby

I loved trialling these products on my precious little boy. I especially liked how all the products were made of no nasty chemicals and of all natural ingredients. The scent of each product in this range was appealing also. The packaging was simple, clear and effective thoughout the range of products. The baby wash and shampoo came in a small pump bottle. The pump was perfect to ensure that you don’t use too much and easy to use when you have a little one to control in the bath. 2-3 pumps was enough to wash my little one from top to toe. It lathered well and didn’t seem to irritate my little boys eyes or skin.

I highly recommend all the products in this range to any mother.

This shampoo is amazing, the smell, oh my gosh, it’s like that new baby smell all over again! It’s great that this product is a body wash and shampoo in one. It’s an affordable price which is even better! I found that it was gentle, didn’t irritate my child’s eyes. I love that these products are natural which is so important as you don’t want to use products which are harsh on your child.
