This is a real-life Mama review of Shea Moisture baby wash and lotion, as well as some of their curly hair product. My son is biracial; his hair and skin need something other than the popular Aveeno or Johnson’s. I am so glad we found Shea Moisture products! ABOUT SHEA MOISTURE

The one on the right is for dry, damaged hair. My son’s hair is not damaged, but it sure gets dry. I have noticed since using this particular shampoo; his hair is immensely curlier post-bath! I feel good about using Shea Moisture because of it's natural ingredients. Plus, it smells great and has been extremely gentle in my experience."

WHAT’S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT SHEA MOISTURE?

Karen Sly, Senior Finance Manager of Everyday Health Group Pregnancy and Parenting, says her 2-year-old daughter has had “pretty sensitive skin” since she was a baby. Karen tried several baby washes, and found Cetaphil was the only one to get her daughter bath time with no issue: no rashes, just soft, smooth, clear baby skin. You can begin bathing your baby as soon as they come home from the hospital, says Dr. Maguiness. (Chances are they’ll have a bath within six to 24 hours of birth in the hospital, too!) I use Cetaphil baby soothing wash and lotion. My son didn't have eczema that bad but he did have spots of it. Once I switched to the soothing wash and lotion for eczema it started to get better."

I use the SheaMoisture brand on my son. He has wavy/curly hair and it gets out of control sometimes but those products help," says one BabyCenter mom. The scent is great, too, a fruity mango that both parents and kids like. They work hard to retrieve and utilize ingredients from around the world to create the perfect recipe. MY JOURNEY TO SHEA

Moms whose babies have dry skin or eczema are particular fans of this wash, which contains natural oat extract: "Oat is great for eczema," says one BabyCenter mom. Shelley Gingrich, BabyCenter's Executive Director, Brand Solutions, says "I've used everything under the sun, including Pipette and Babyganics!" Some brands dried out her daughter's scalp, but she says Aveeno Baby is "gentle, moisturizing, and has a nice mild scent."
