About Aquaphor

Its unique formula of protective ingredients was so effective it was soon commercialized and made available to consumers. Clinically tested and uniquely formulated, the Aquaphor brand is highly recommended by dermatologists and pediatricians.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this formula safe for my newborn's delicate skin and scalp?
Yes. The pediatrician-recommended, hypoallergenic formula is designed specifically for sensitive newborn skin and scalp. It is free of parabens, preservatives, and synthetic fragrance.
Does the tear-free claim actually hold up during hair rinses?
The tear-free formula is clinically proven mild, meaning it will not sting if it runs into your baby's eyes during rinsing. This is one of the main reasons parents choose it over standard baby shampoos.
What ingredients are excluded that could irritate my baby's skin?
The formula is free of parabens, preservatives, and synthetic fragrance. It is also hypoallergenic, which reduces the risk of reactions on sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
Is the pump bottle safe to use while holding my baby in the tub?
Yes. The pump-top is designed for one-handed dispensing so your other hand can stay securely on your baby, reducing the risk of slipping during bath time.
Does this product contain any ingredients that allergists advise avoiding?
It excludes parabens, preservatives, and synthetic fragrance, which are the three most common ingredient categories that allergists flag for sensitive or reactive infant skin.
How do I know this is safe enough for my baby's first bath at home?
The pediatrician-recommended status and clinical mildness testing give first-time parents reassurance. Many hospitals and pediatric offices use similar gentle cleansing routines at the newborn stage.
Is this wash safe to use every single day on my infant?
Yes. The mild, fragrance-free formula is designed for daily use, including the everyday evening bath and hair wash routine.
Can I use this on my baby if they have eczema-prone skin?
Many parents of eczema-prone babies choose this wash because of its hypoallergenic, paraben-free, preservative-free, and fragrance-free formulation, paired with soothing chamomile and provitamin B5.
Will the unscented formula still soothe my baby at bedtime?
Yes. The chamomile essence and provitamin B5 provide gentle soothing without relying on added fragrance, so your baby gets a calming bath without overwhelming scents.
What happens if my baby accidentally swallows a small amount during the rinse?
The mild formula is non-toxic and designed for external use. Small incidental contact with the mouth during rinsing is not a concern, though the product should be used as a wash, not a drink.
Is this safer for sensitive skin than traditional baby shampoo with fragrance?
For babies who react to fragrance or harsh surfactants, this formula is generally a safer choice. The paraben-free, preservative-free, fragrance-free formulation reduces the most common triggers of skin reactions.
Why do pediatricians recommend this over regular soap for newborns?
Pediatricians often recommend a tear-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free formula because newborns have thinner, more reactive skin. This product meets those criteria while also being tested for mildness.
Is chamomile safe for babies who haven't been exposed to botanicals before?
Chamomile is one of the most widely used soothing ingredients in baby care and is included at gentle levels. If your baby has a known plant allergy, consult your pediatrician before first use.
How do I use the Aquaphor Baby Wash and Shampoo during a typical bath?
Pump a small amount into your palm, apply to wet hair and body, gently massage, and rinse thoroughly. The tear-free formula is designed for use from the newborn stage through toddlerhood.
How much wash should I use per bath for a newborn versus a toddler?
One to two pumps is usually enough for a newborn. Toddlers with more hair may need two to three pumps. The pump-top design makes it easy to dispense the right amount without waste.
Can I use this wash and shampoo on my baby's face and around the eyes?
Yes. The tear-free, mild formula is gentle enough for use on the face and around the eyes. Avoid direct contact with the inner eye, but incidental contact during rinsing is safe.
Is this product compatible with cloth diapers and sensitive skin routines?
Yes. The paraben-free, preservative-free, fragrance-free formula is compatible with cloth diaper households and is a common choice among parents who follow gentle, ingredient-conscious routines.
Will this work for both home use and travel in the 1 fl oz size?
Yes. The 1 fl oz travel size is designed for diaper bags, overnight stays, daycare, and airplane travel. The pump-top home size is meant for nursery and bathroom use.
What comes in the box when I order this product?
You will receive one pump-top bottle of Aquaphor Baby Wash and Shampoo in the size you select (16.9 fl oz home size or 1 fl oz travel size). The pump is included and ready to use.
Is this product safe if my baby has been diagnosed with eczema?
Many pediatricians recommend gentle, fragrance-free, paraben-free cleansers for babies with eczema-prone skin. This formula meets those criteria, but always follow your pediatrician's specific advice for your baby's care plan.
How should I store the bottle to keep the formula fresh?
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The pump-top design helps limit air and water exposure, which keeps the formula fresh between uses.
What is the difference between a 2-in-1 baby wash and shampoo and a separate baby body wash plus shampoo?
A 2-in-1 product is formulated to cleanse both hair and skin in one step, which simplifies bath time and reduces the number of products in your routine. Separate body wash and shampoo products are designed for one specific use each and may be preferred by parents who want different formulations for hair and body.
