Awards
The Mini U Toiletries Range for Baby & Child won Silver for Best Baby Skincare Range/Product in the Mother&Baby Awards 2025. We're big fans of the fruity, natural scents, and the cute packaging will have your little one begging to use these products in their bath. There's a brilliant variety in the products they offer, and it's great to know that they're all made with natural ingredients and no nasty chemicals! Our Mother & Baby testers tried the full range at home with their little ones - read on below for a detailed dive into their favourite bits.
Testing
Our testers loved using their set of Mini U products at home - the bubble bath in particular was a huge hit! One mum said, "A firm favourite with my kids was the coloured bubble bath which comes in both a pinky red and a blue. They particularly loved mixing them up to make a purple bath!" It sounds like it even helped to get one little girl almost as excited for bathtime as for playing with her toys - another tester told us "My daughter gets very excited when it’s bath time as the bubble bath is a beautiful pink colour and produces lots of bubbles."
The hair products also got rave reviews, with testers commenting on the particular appeal for kids with curly hair. "My little one also has curly hair and I particularly like the curly hair range of hair products. She hates her hair being washed or styled," said one mum, "but she loved using these products so it’s a big yes from me!". Another told us, "The styling balm smells delicious and holds various styles without looking claggy on their hair."
Obviously, kids love the fun stuff, so the bath bombs were a real hero pick for them. When talking about their children, one tester said "They loved the little bath bombs with the hidden surprises, and they couldn't wait to see which animal-shaped sponge they received." Others called out that "the design of the bath bombs and what they do are really cool" and highlighted that they "make bath time fun without needing to clean your bath afterwards!" One little boy was definitely happy with them - his mum told us "The bath bombs with the sponges in were a definite favourite for my son... he loved collecting all the little sponges, they also smelled lovely and left my son’s skin feeling soft after his bath."
One of the most important features of Mini U's range is its suitability for the sensitive skin of young children. Our testers found that there was no need to worry here! "We’ve had no tears with the products and no reactions," said one mum, also letting us know that "they don’t seem to be full of lots of additional chemicals, so I feel happy for my little one to use them." Another told us, "My son is three and suffers with eczema - if anything, the products improved his skin!"
Overall, they were truly singing the praises of this range. "I thought they were absolutely amazing," said one mum. Another told us, "We found the entire Mini U collection to be an absolute family treat." It's incredible how much easier it can make bathtime to have something the kids are interested in.
Final verdict
There's so much to love in the Mini U Toiletries Range for Baby & Child - we particularly like that almost all products are suitable for use from birth onwards, and the allergen-light formula makes everything really accessible for those with sensitive skin. They make a fantastic gift, support sustainable use of ingredients and most importantly, they make bathtime fun for your little one.
