(More customer reviews)We bought this and used it on our first daughter once.
About an hour after I totally regretted using this stuff, because the smell emanating from her head was making me woozy. It's like plastic-melted marshmallows. Yuck. I took her back to the bath, and washed her hair again - with something else. But the smell from the Method shampoo stuck around for three days after, despite daily baths/hair washings.
So, I found myself thinking, why would anyone use a smell like this? Isn't there something 'wrong' with a smell that can't be washed away? And this is my biggest gripe of all: Method suggests with the name "Squeaky Green" that you might be doing something good for both the environment and your child by buying and using this product. But if the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Database is any evidence, this is not so.
Fragrances notoriously contain bad ingredients, like phthalates. You know, the stuff you're trying to avoid in your toys? Now, you can apply it in a difficult to remove form.... directly to your child's skin!
There are a number of other ingredients in this baby shampoo that have known neurotoxic and immunological effects, others have concerns with heavy metal and pesticide contamination, and organ system toxicity.
I resent Method's greenwashing with this product, particularly when it is aimed at the most vulnerable of targets: babies.
There are an increasing number of baby products out there which are considered to contain safe - or at least safer - ingredients. And if you balk at fragrance-free options, there are products scented with essential oils and extracts, natural ingredients. I've tried a number of them and they are pleasant, but not pervasively stinky. I will never again buy a product for my children without researching the claims made on the packaging.
