Bubbsi Creamy Coconut Oil Shampoo & Wash Review 2023 | Natural, Organic Baby Soap and Hair Wash

We tried Bubbsi’s Coconut Oil Shampoo & Wash with our toddlers for 6 months, and here’s what we thought…

The Top Line: GREAT buy, particularly for infant and toddler aged kids! Our kids LOVED Bubbsi Shampoo & Wash’s animal shaped bottles, which are made of a soft food-grade silicone, and it has become an extra bath toy for us. We love the clean ingredients and very light coconut scent. While it is a bit pricier, it feels like we’re paying a bit extra for a bath toy and soap in one, and it does get more affordable when you buy the refill pouch!


The Breakdown:

  • Cost & Products: $22.00 for 8oz animal-shaped bottle, $55 for 32oz refill pouch

  • How ‘Clean’ Is This? Kid-friendly, 100% naturally derived ingredients, with a light all-natural coconut & vanilla scent. Free of parabens, pthalates, sulfates, mineral oils and dyes. Refillable tub.

  • Packaging: It comes in a refillable food-grade silicone container, and shipped in cardboard materials.

  • Purchasing & Shipping: I purchased on Bubbsi’s website

  • Good to know: Our kids were OBSESSED with the cute animal shaped bottle, made them more excited about bathtime.

  • What’s Your Impact? We appreciate the refillable tub container, and that is is shipped in paper cardboard materials.


The Experience

Context: As a mom with young toddlers that tends to get bored at bathtime, we were intrigued by Bubbsi’s Shampoo & Wash:

  • The adorable animal shaped bottle definitely caught our attention! It has become a beloved bath toy for our son

  • Our toddler actually likes trying to put some on himself!

  • Light coconut scent which we appreciate, and Allergy, Dermatologist & Pediatrician Tested

  • We appreciate that you can buy a larger refill pouch

Overall, happy with the experience!


The Cost

We compared Bubbsi’s Shampoo & Wash with other baby & kids shampoos and wash on the market and found the price to be on the higher end. However, it is much more price effective if you buy the refill.

Money Report: While on the pricier side, our kids loved the Bubbsi animal shaped bottles so much, and it is so much easier to handle for the parents that we think it’s worth it.


The Good:

95% naturally derived formula.

Light all-natural scent: Coconut, vanilla

No parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oils, or dyes

Allergy, Dermatologist & Pediatrician Tested

Extremely cute animal shaped bottles made of food-grade silicone

✔ Love that it comes in refill format

The Bad:

A bit on the pricier side, but worth it in our opinion for the cute animal shaped bottle—and the refills are much more affordable and in-range in terms of cost

We're on a mission to reduce our personal carbon footprint with small, hopefully easy, changes in our home to fight against climate change. This means we're looking for products that may be all natural, ideally zero waste, reusable or compostable -- while still being affordable!
