Awards
Childs Farm OatDerma Baby Wash won Bronze for Best Eco Friendly Product in the Mother&Baby Awards 2025. Our six parents tested the wash with their children for us, ahead of the awards - read their thoughts below!
Testing the Childs Farm OatDerma Baby Wash
One of the standout benefits of the OatDerma Baby Wash is its suitability for sensitive skin. Many testers appreciated that the product is fragrance-free and safe for those with eczema, making it a dependable choice for everyday use. One parent commented, "The product is fragrance free and is suitable for dry and itchy skin, safe for people with eczema which so many babies have!" Another noted, "I liked the product, it was suitable for my baby’s sensitive skin and caused no flare-ups." These comments reinforce the wash's gentle, dermatologically-tested formula.
Where the OatDerma Baby Wash truly shines is its commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing. It comes in a 100% recycled plastic bottle made from ocean-bound plastic, and both the bottle and cap are fully recyclable. Testers were impressed not just by the environmental packaging but by the brand’s transparency and values. One reviewer said, "It’s carbon neutral plus and it's really easy to find where all the ingredients are sourced from…they work with their farmers to provide a fair wage and ensure their company is an ethical brand."
The brand’s cruelty-free and vegan credentials were also essential to many testers. One user shared, "The product is cruelty free and vegan which stood out to me instantly as this is essential." The company’s BCorp certification and detailed ingredient sourcing explanations on their website further support their status as a trustworthy, eco-conscious brand.
In terms of application, the OatDerma Baby Wash is easy to use, with a foamy texture that spreads well and requires only a small amount per wash. "I liked that you only need to apply a little bit as it foams up quite a lot – very quick and easy to use," one parent explained. However, a few noted that the product may be a bit too foamy, and suggested the formula could be adjusted for a better balance.
While many found the product moisturising, one tester did mention that their child still had some dry patches post-use, though this may have been due to not pairing it with the matching OatDerma moisturiser. Another tester remarked that the “colour in the wash doesn’t feel necessary,” suggesting the visual aspect may raise expectations of fragrance.
Final verdict
Overall, the Childs Farm OatDerma Baby Wash offers an excellent blend of skin-friendly care and ethical responsibility. It's a hit with parents seeking a safe, effective, and environmentally-conscious bath product for babies and toddlers. While some minor improvements like a refill option or tweaking the foaminess could elevate the experience, it remains a standout choice in the baby skincare market.
