Why We Love It
What makes Baby Shampoo & Wash, Fragrance Free a Label Lookout pick
Most baby washes lean on synthetic fragrance to signal clean or fresh. This one skips it entirely rather than swapping it for a natural scent, which matters because fragrance is the ingredient the baby category rubric flags most consistently for irritation risk in infants.
Squalane does the moisturizing work here instead of mineral oil or petrolatum. It is derived from sugarcane rather than petroleum, and it sits closer to the lipids already present in skin.
The formula is not a bare-bones ingredient list. It still uses standard preservatives and a mild conditioning agent, which is normal for a shelf-stable liquid wash and not a red flag on its own. The trade-off is a shorter list built around a handful of gentle cleansers, not a zero-ingredient one.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
Is every Pipette Baby Shampoo & Wash bottle fragrance-free?
No. Only the SKU labeled Fragrance Free skips added scent. Pipette also sells Vanilla, Wildflower, and Rose + Geranium versions of the same wash, so check the front label before buying.
Is this a true castile soap?
No. It is built on mild glucoside surfactants (decyl glucoside, coco-glucoside) rather than a traditional soap base, which is what makes it tear-free.
What does EWG Verified actually check?
Pipette submitted the full formula to the Environmental Working Group, which screens every ingredient against its Skin Deep database and excludes anything on its restricted list.
Does it work as both shampoo and body wash?
Yes, it is formulated as a 2-in-1 for hair and skin.
Is it safe for newborn skin?
Pipette markets it starting at birth, and it is fragrance-free, tear-free, and hypoallergenic. For a baby with broken or very sensitive skin, check with a pediatrician first.

The Verdict
Pros & cons
What we love
- Zero synthetic fragrance, the ingredient the baby category rubric flags most often
- Squalane (sugarcane-derived) replaces mineral oil or petrolatum as the moisturizer
- Sulfate-free, glucoside-based cleansers (decyl glucoside, coco-glucoside)
- EWG Verified, meaning the full formula has been screened against EWG's restricted ingredient list
- Works as a 2-in-1 hair and body wash, one bottle instead of two
!Worth noting
- Still contains standard synthetic preservatives (sodium benzoate, sodium dehydroacetate) and a cationic conditioning agent (guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride), so it is not a zero-ingredient product
- Fragrance-free only in this specific SKU. Pipette's Vanilla, Wildflower, and Rose + Geranium versions of the same Baby Shampoo & Wash are scented, so the label needs a careful check at purchase
