From foam castles to crazy hairstyles, baby bubble bath makes tub time fun for kids of all ages. And the only thing better than bountiful bubbles is a formula that’s also gentle on sensitive skin.
Soaking and splashing in a bubble-filled bath is a fantastic way for kids to unwind at the end of a day’s play. And apart from creating serious suds that get kids giggling, our favourite bubble solution contains natural ingredients that help soothe nappy rash, prevent dryness and nurture sensitive baby skin.
To help you bring bubbly fun to bathtime while caring for young skin, we’ve shortlisted the baby bubble bath that really scrub up.
