Our hero extracts
CALENDULA
Derived from marigold flowers, calendula is renowned for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps protect the skin barrier, promotes wound healing, and reduces inflammation and irritation, all while nourishing the skin. Calendula is particularly effective at supporting skin repair.
Chamomile
Chamomile is a soothing herb that reduces inflammation and redness while providing a calming effect. It effectively alleviates irritated skin, redness, itching, and common skin conditions in infants. Its rich concentration of flavonoids provides chamomile with powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
Marshmallow Root Extract
Marshmallow root, a herb safely used for centuries, is renowned for healing red, damaged skin and relieving skin irritation and inflammation. Research suggests that its topical application may help manage dry skin. With its anti-inflammatory properties, marshmallow root extract soothes and softens the skin, making it an excellent choice for sensitive skin.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea extract has soothing properties that help calm redness and ease irritation. It is rich in powerful antioxidants and essential skin-nourishing vitamins, including E and B2. The polyphenols in green tea reduce inflammation, helping to soothe sensitive skin and provide relief from conditions such as diaper rash, cradle cap, and other skin irritations.
The Wash was mindfully developed by our founder Caitlin - a Midwife, Nurse, and Nutrition Consultant.
After years of being asked which baby wash she recommended, Caitlin realised she couldn’t confidently suggest one - most were filled with synthetic ingredients, harsh surfactants, nut oils, or food allergens, all of which can increase the risk of topical sensitisation, especially in delicate or dry, sensitive skin.
Recognising the need for a truly gentle, effective, and evidence based alternative, Caitlin spent over two years in research and development to create The Wash - a natural, allergen-conscious wash designed for the whole family.
Formulated with a 100% Spanish olive oil Castile base, along with organic jojoba oil, organic aloe vera, and four soothing botanical extracts, The Wash gently cleanses without disrupting the skin’s moisture barrier - leaving skin soft, calm, and nourished.
Free from food allergens, nut oils, fragrance, and irritants and made to meet the highest standards of care for sensitive skin, from newborns to grown-ups.

Apply in the bath or shower. Pump a small amount onto a sponge or into the palm of your hand, then gently massage into skin avoiding contact with eyes. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Fragrances are a collection of chemicals that are used to give a product a certain smell or scent. According to the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) 3,059 materials can be used in fragrance. Many of which, have been linked to reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption, allergies and more. In fact, a single scent can contain anywhere from 50-300 chemicals. You can read more on this here.
Our little one's organs and immune systems are still developing and are incredibly vulnerable to fragrance (hence the main reason we chose not to include it).
Potassium Hydroxide is used to saponify olive oil into soap. It's what makes our formula soap/lather. None remains in the wash, but for transparency purposes, we choose to list it even when other brands don't.
Castile-based products were first produced many centuries ago in the Castile region of Spain. Traditionally, Castile soap was made with 100% olive oil, without the addition of coconut oil. We wanted to honour these traditional practices. Additionally, some research suggests that topical exposure to coconut oil before oral exposure through the gut can increase the risk of allergies.
Although it is a bit of a mouthful, this ingredient is a naturally derived thickening agent. Derived from cellulose, a sugar found in the cell walls of plants.
We were careful to avoid other ingredients such as citric acid, sodium benzoate, fragrances, parabens, phthalates, SLS, SLES and more.

As an eco-conscious small business, we aim to minimise plastic use as much as possible.
The potential risks of microplastics are greater for infants because they lack sufficiently developed metabolising enzymes, have a reduced ability to eliminate micro-plastics, and possess highly sensitive target organs. Because of this, plastic bottles were not an option.
Additionally, our amber glass bottle protects our formula from UV radiation.

This was intentional. Many bath products contain Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), Ethoxylated Compounds to make the product "bubble"
However these chemicals have been linked to skin related irritations and may be something you want to avoid if your little one has any existing skin conditions or dry, sensitive skin.
