Please bring back the old formula! We hate the new one! I have bought out all of our local stores from the old formula, but my supply is now running low. I have been using the old formula with my son for over 6 years and have now started using it with my baby girl. I fear I will have to find a new alternative, though. Please listen to your customers and go back to the old formula!
I have recently made the switch to all natural and organic products for our household - we have tired quiet a few products for the kids including California Baby and another one in a orange bottle we got a Whole Foods (can't remember name) and both have been disappointing - was so happy to get and try out this and the body lotion this weekend and it was SO SO good! Great smell, great lather and leaves my kids looking and feeling clean! So happy we found this! Plus, it's very reasonably priced!
I am so disappointed with the "new and improved" line of the Baby Bee products so much so that I felt the need to write this review. I've been using the bubble bath, 2-in-1 wash, Buttermilk Lotion on my daughter since she was born and is now almost 5 years. I am now in search of another product. The smell is horrible and you have to use more of it to get a good lather and now she has dry scalp! The baby bees lotion smells horrible and doesnt seem to moisturize the same way it used to! Unfortunately I will not be purchasing any of these products again unless something changes :(
I not only use this for my little guy as a shampoo and wash, but I also use it as a shampoo! My hair has never looked so good! I jush wish BB woulld stop discontinuing products I love! (Color Keeper conditioner and the carrot soap especially!)
This shampoo is one of the best baby products we've ever purchased. My daughter is 7 years old and still loves this shampoo. It leaves hair clean and silky-feeling but without any residue or build-up.
I have never used the previous formula so I don't have it for comparison, but as far as the smell goes I really like the current formula. The scent is "different", but not in a bad way. It also lathers up very well and gets my daughter's skin nice and clean. However, I do not think it works so well as a shampoo; it tends to leave my daughter's hair very dry and tangles easily. It is also drying out her scalp and causing dandruff. For now, I will just use this as a body wash and use a different brand for washing her hair (Shea Moisture Baby).
I have been using this product on my son since he was born and he is now 13 months old and this product always leaves him smelling nice and smooth skin! Very happy ;)
We've been using this wash/shampoo on our baby since the day she came home from the hospital. The fragrance is so so sweet and wonderful. I love taking her out of her crib in the morning and just sniffing her hair (we bathe her at night). She splashes around a lot in the water, so the suds gets in her eyes sometimes and she has never once cried, or even complained. Its a very gentle wash. We LOVE this and will use it on all of our children!
I LOVE this product, I only have one complaint. The formula was fine before, gentle, natural, smelled wonderful. When they went from 96% to 98% all natural the smell changed (which was the only change I noticed). I have been using this on my 5 year old since he came home from the hospital. I have grown to love the smell and am just a bit dissappointed that it has changed.
What is going on with the "new" scent of the baby wash and the lotion??even my daughter told me it smelled "so yucky".this is NOT the formula it used to be! we have resorted to finishing up the $9 bottle as doggie wash.
Ever since I was pregnant, I read about the dangerous chemicals in shampoo, and baby wash. My son is now 3 years old, and I will not change this product for anything. I keep getting compliments from numerous people because they all say his skin is very very soft. The price is great, considering the fact that there are other products that cost more.
Am I nuts or is this "new" shampoo/wash just the bubble bath formula in a tall bottle? It smells like the bubble bath and bubbles like the bubble bath, which is fine for...y'know...bubble bath.
I'll keep it around for long, sudsy soaks for my 2-year-old, but I'm on the hunt for a new natural shampoo/body wash, sad to say.
Not only is it gentle and effective, but it has a much nicer fragrance than most of the other natural products out there. This is definitely my preferred body wash for my little bees!
What is going on with this product? I too have been disappointed with the change in the formula. The sad part is so many of us have posted that we don't like it and no one seems to care. I have been using this product for 5 years now and now I have switched to Method products. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK. It SMELLS BAD and has the consistency of water. The directions actually say to pour a few capfuls into your hand? Why do I have to use so much of this product to cleanse a BABY? I never had to use more than a dime size amount of the old formula.
Pros: Good for sensitive skin, Rinses clean, Fragrance
I have two small boys (ages 4 and 1). We use this body wash everyday. We love that this product is safe for our boys and the environment. And we LOVE the smell. We wish everything was 100% natural, but we know you are working on this. :-)
We have an old bottle (slightly opaque) with the old formula and the new improved more natural formula (clear bottle). Gotta say the old formula smells more natural than the new. They GOT RID of almost ALL of the nice PLANT EXTRACTS that used to be in there - so I am sure it is CHEAPER TO MAKE. However, now it has a slightly chemical smell that was never there! Although the amount that is natural may have increased - the quality has significantly decreased :-(
Surely, this just has to be a bad batch. You couldn't possibly have formulated something that smells like that on purpose!! I can't stand the smell, and neither could my kids. They complained about how stinky it was. And, I pretty much had to hold my nose while applying it to their hair. Horrible, awful. NO ONE would find that to be a pleasing scent. No one. I am returning this pronto.
Pros: Good for sensitive skin, Rinses clean, Fragrance
My wife has very sensitive skin and this is the only shampoo we have found that does not irritate her skin. Plus we both like the looks of her hair after shampooing. Thank you for a great shampoo
I am so disappointed with the new scent of the Baby Bee products. I've been using the bubble bath, 2-in-1 wash, Buttermilk Lotion, and oil on my baby for a year and was disgusted with the scent of the last set I purchased. It has a plastic-like smell, not sweet like the previous formula. I thought it was just my nose, but after reading other reviews I realize I'm not the only disappointed mother. I don't notice any difference between the new formula and the old except that it stinks. I don't even want to use it because I can't stand the smell. I will not purchase any of these products again unless the fragrance changes.
