Honey Babe Shampoo & Wash Review

With two kids - one a threenager and one an innocent infant.. we go through a lot of shampoo and body wash. Darling daughter loves to pump the bottles and "wash" her own hair and her brothers.. I don't dare interfere unless I want a tantruming toddler amongst our midst. Hence we go through the stuff like its running out of fashion. We haven't used a wide variety but we do tend to use ones aimed at babies. Even though we could use a kids shampoo now they still hurt the eyes so babies shampoo and body wash means no tears all around. I loved that this was a no tears solution - and it was true to its word. We had no tears from either child and it was washed off right over their faces. Again the bottle is cute - mini pump bottle with the adorably cute baby on the front. Seems small but a little does seem to go a long way. It's 140mL and one small squirt did my sons hair and he has short ear length?? I guess you could say hair and two squirts did my daughters long curly hair. It creates a small lather not too foamy but enough to create a creamy foam and then wash off when ready. It definitely does act like a body wash too. Left both kids nice and clean. Upon drying their hair it was smooth and shiny. I liked this shampoo but I wouldn't say i loved it. My toddler loved it she thought it smelt amazing. My partner loved it he thought it smelt amazing too - like the smokers lollies?? But for me the smell was a little strong. It smelt perfect when dry - not too strong, absolutely delicious.. just when washing at the wet stage it was a little strong. In terms of shampoo and body wash it was great it did the job and left the kids clean and shiny. If i knew a friend liked stronger scents I would highly recommend it to them.

This was sent as part of the Mystery baby care pack by the beauty review team. The handy pump bottle works well. The wash itself is pleasantly fragrant and leaves a pleasing scent on my baby. It's easy to wash off too and I didn't have to work too hard to get it off. I am gald to have got a chance to try this out and knowing it has Manuka honey , Aloe Vera and Calendula put my mind at rest knowing my baby's skin is getting the some of the best things on offer. Would definitely consider buying it again.

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

This body wash / shampoo is a light, slightly liquidy consistency which turns to a creamy foam when massaged into the skin or hair. You don't need a lot, a small half pump is all I need for my little ones hair and I use the left over as body wash and pump a tiny bit more if needed. I love the scent of this product, it's slightly sweet without being over powering and it lasts in my babe's hair for a good period of time. I really like that this product has manuka honey in its ingredients list as its well known for its antibacterial properties. My baby also has more hair than the norm and this leaves it feeling soft and silky without the need for conditioner. It also leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated, which I really like as I don't feel that I need to moisturise my hands after using it or baby's body. I have found some other brands can be quite drying, which this is not. In terms of price, there are cheaper alternatives available, however they are not as good as this and at $12 a bottle I don't think this is too high a price point at all. Will definitely be repurchasing this, its all I've used in the last couple of weeks. Really great product!

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

A nice fragranced wash. Comes in a nice plastic pump bottle and is easy to use with an active toddler without worrying about taking a cap or lid off.The product has a light creamy texture and glides on the skin well. It lathers up lightly and was very easy to wash off and didn’t leave the skin feeling dry at all.However I did find myself using couple a few pumps to get a decent amount to use on my toddler.i know that this shampoo and wash didn’t sting his eyes as My lil Bub didn’t end up crying “eyes eyes wash wash” It did leave his hair and skin feeling nice and soft. ( generally all lil bubs skins soft) but what I mean is that it didn’t leave it feeling too dry as I find some other body washes do. Overall a good product and I will certainly look at purchasing this again.

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!

I was selected to take part in the trial team for this product. I was actually really excited when these products arrived as I am a fan of Wild ferns range!

This product didn't come in a box like the other three that I have trialed. The bottle itse'f is a white pump bottle and a label with this beautiful yellow to golden orange ombre with manuka flowers over it, and the most adorable picture of a baby asleep on a manuka flower - even the inside of the box is yellow with white manuka flowers all over it. The 'Honey Baby' and the picture of the baby are embossed and there is a gold trim on the bottom. To me this product design looks like a high quality product.

The lid is a pump bottle which can be turned left to lock or right to pump.There was also a clip that went around the neck of the pump to stop oit from accidentally being pushed in transit (which is also a good idea for travel!). The pump is easy to use and puts out about a good sized 10c piece amount. I found two pumps was more than enough to wash my child's body and another half a pump was enough for his hair.

The shampoo and wash has a pleasant aroma and I found it actually quite gentle on my (eczema prone) hands. I also got brave and tried it on my face before I tried it on our son and my skin felt amazing after! The texture was what would expect from a liquid soap - I found it very similar in texture to the QV body wash we have been using on our child. We used this every night in his shower. I found that it didn't foam up very much as a body wash when used by hand, but when you used a loofah it was very bubbly - using a loofah also meant that my son could wash himself with it too.

As a shampoo it foamed well with the addition of hair and it left our childs hair looking nice. He is prone to cradle cap and eczema on his face and didn't have any reaction to this body wash.

I would highly recommend this product, it would be a fantastic gift for a friend with a newborn. We will be repurchasing, that's for sure!

I'm in two minds about this one. On the one hand, it felt gentle, didn't use artificial fragrance and has lots of lovely ingredients. On the other hand, shortly after I had to talk to the doctor about some skin irritation my baby was showing. However, she is prone to eczema and I don't usually use any body wash of any form, so I'm going to go ahead and assume it wasn't this product bothering her skin, giving it the benefit of the doubt.

If your baby is less reactive than mine, this is a gentle option with lots of lovely things in the mix that has a yummy smell! As for me, I might just have to finish it up myself... yum!

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!
