Soaps for babies

[lamp8813]

I am in the process of gathering information and recipes for baby soaps.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, or cautions pertaining to recipes for C P baby soaps?
Thank You.

Good threads. Just think it should be added that the soap you make will not be tear-free. The non-tearing stuff is a detergent with the same PH as the eyes. Soap can not be made that PH and still be soap.

I stay away from making "baby" soap for this very reason, it stings!!

if you decide to use essential oils, you cannot use them on babies. I think it is suggested that under the age of 10 cant have essential oils.

soap for babies

WOW!, Thanks a million folks, another reason that I am thankful for being a member of this forum.
Your sage advice is all well taken and causing lots of debate on this end about creating a soap specifically for babies or just sticking to making "soap" and if a person feels that a particular soap I make is suited for their baby, then so be it!
Great info from all of you. Your comments are well taken.
