Earth Mama is a herbal care brand, founded in 2002, that built its name on gentle products for pregnancy, new mothers and babies. Its washes are castile-based, which simply means they are soaps made from plant oils rather than harsh detergents. The listings describe them as made with organic herbs and oils such as rooibos, calendula, coconut oil and shea butter, and free from artificial fragrance, preservatives, Triclosan, phthalates and sulfates. That is why an earth mama wash turns up so often on baby shower gift lists.
The six bottles below differ in three simple ways that this guide explains one at a time: scent (unscented, lavender, orange or ginger), size (small pump bottles, small refills or big 34 ounce refills) and who they are aimed at, from newborns to grown-ups at the kitchen sink.

Earth Mama Simply Non-Scents Baby Wash 34 fl oz for Sensitive Skin
The Earth Mama Simply Non-Scents Baby Wash in the 34 fluid ounce size is the brand’s unscented castile soap in a large bottle. “Unscented” here means truly fragrance free, not just a mild smell. The listing says it has been awarded the Seal of Acceptance by the National Eczema Association, has been chosen by hospital NICUs, and is dermatologist and clinically tested for irritation. It is made with organic rooibos and calendula plus organic oils and shea butter, and can be used as a hand soap or body wash for the whole family.
One important note for new parents: the listing states it is not a “no-tear” formula, so take extra care around the eyes. The listing also mentions a foamer pump in its feature text while showing a compatible refill field, so it does not make fully clear whether this large bottle ships with a pump. If you need a pump, pair it with the small pump bottle below.
This is the best everyday choice for a family with eczema-prone or sensitive skin that wants one big bottle to last. Shoppers who want a scent should look at the lavender or orange versions instead.
Earth Mama Simply Non-Scents Foaming Hand Soap 6.27 fl oz for a First Try
The Earth Mama Simply Non-Scents Baby Wash Foaming Hand Soap is the same unscented formula in a 6.27 fluid ounce foaming pump bottle. A foaming pump mixes the liquid soap with air as it comes out, so you get ready-made foam that spreads easily over a wriggly baby. This listing adds that the soap can also be used for non-toxic household cleaning, and names aloe vera, coconut oil and shea butter among its ingredients, with calendula listed as the active ingredient.
It carries the same National Eczema Association seal, NICU mention and irritation testing as the large bottle, and the same reminder that it is not a no-tear formula.
This suits parents who want to try the wash before committing to a big bottle, or who want a pump by the changing table. Once you know you like it, the 34 ounce bottle or the small refills are the natural next step.
Earth Mama Calming Lavender Baby Wash Refill 34 fl oz for Bedtime Baths
The Earth Mama Calming Lavender Baby Wash Foaming Soap Refill is a liter-size, lavender vanilla scented version. The description explains that its scent comes from organic vanilla and lavender pure essential oils, not fragrance chemicals, and calls it a detergent-free castile soap for baby bath time, hand washing and head-to-toe family clean. It also says the liter size suits refills and DIY castile soap recipes.
The listing says it is safe for newborns and pregnant mothers and made without Triclosan, parabens or harsh sulfates. Two details are confusing: the title calls it a refill while one feature mentions a foaming pump, and the specifications list the item form as “cream” while the rest of the listing describes a liquid soap. Treat it as a refill unless the seller confirms otherwise.
Pick this for families who enjoy a soothing lavender scent at bedtime. Parents managing eczema may prefer the unscented versions, which carry the Eczema Association seal in their listings.
Earth Mama Non-Scents Foaming Soap Refill 5.3 fl oz for Travel
The Earth Mama Non-Scents Baby Wash Foaming Soap Refill brings the unscented formula in a small 5.3 fluid ounce size. The title says it is a two-pack, but the specifications list a package quantity of 1, so the listing does not settle how many bottles arrive. The description repeats the National Eczema Association seal and says it is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. The listing adds cruelty free, natural, organic and paraben free tags.
Small refills are handy for topping up a pump bottle or tucking into a diaper bag. As with the others, it is not a no-tear formula.
This suits parents on the go or anyone refilling a small pump. For the best value per ounce at home, the 34 ounce unscented bottle makes more sense.
Earth Mama Sweet Orange Baby Wash 6.27 fl oz for a Cheerful Scent
The Earth Mama Sweet Orange Baby Liquid Wash Foaming Soap is an orange vanilla castile soap in a 6.27 fluid ounce foamer pump. The listing describes it as an all-purpose foaming hand soap and baby wash, made with organic rooibos, calendula, organic oils and shea butter, and safe for newborns and pregnant mothers. It also mentions vitamin E and tags the soap as vegan.
The specifications also carry an “antibacterial” tag, but the feature text makes no antibacterial claim, so do not buy it for that reason. Like the others it is not a no-tear formula.
This is a bright, gift-friendly pick for a family that likes a citrus scent. If the baby has very sensitive skin, the unscented versions are the safer first choice.
Earth Mama Ginger Fresh Hand and Body Wash Refill 34 fl oz for Grown-Ups
The Earth Mama Ginger Fresh Hand and Body Wash Foaming Refill is the one product here not labelled as a baby wash. The title tells us it is a 34 fluid ounce foaming refill for hands and body. Beyond that, the listing is very thin: it gives dimensions of about 3 by 3 by 10 inches and a weight of 2.13 pounds, but it does not specify ingredients, skin type, or whether it is suitable for babies.
Because the listing says so little, we cannot tell you whether it shares the castile formula of the baby washes. Check the label or product images before using it on a baby.
This suits parents who want a grown-up ginger scent for the bathroom or kitchen sink. For baby bath time, stay with one of the five baby washes above.
How to Choose the Right Earth Mama Wash
Unscented versus scented is the first choice. Unscented (Simply Non-Scents) is the pick for newborns, eczema or anyone sensitive to smells, and it is the only formula here whose listings mention the National Eczema Association seal. Lavender and orange add essential oil scents for a more pleasant bath time.
Next is the format. A pump bottle (the 6.27 ounce unscented or orange) makes foam right away. A refill (the 34 ounce lavender, the 5.3 ounce unscented, the 34 ounce ginger) tops up a pump you already own and usually cuts packaging. If you like cutting down on bottles around the house, our guide to eco-friendly dryer sheets has more ideas for the laundry room.
Then think about size. Small bottles are good for trying a scent or for travel; 34 ounce bottles make sense once you know what your family likes.
Finally, remember that none of these is a no-tear formula. Keep suds away from little eyes. If your household prefers fragrance-free everything, our unscented laundry detergent guide helps match the rest of the routine.
FAQ
Which Earth Mama wash should I buy for a baby shower gift
The Simply Non-Scents foaming pump bottle is the safest pick, because it is unscented and suits sensitive skin. Add the 34 ounce unscented bottle if you want the gift to last for months.
Is Earth Mama baby wash tear free
No. Every baby wash listing here says it is not a no-tear formula, so use extra care around the eyes.
Can adults use Earth Mama baby wash
Yes. The listings describe the baby washes as safe for the whole family, including pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, as hand soap or body wash.
What is castile soap
Castile soap is a traditional soap made from plant oils instead of synthetic detergents. The Earth Mama listings describe their washes as castile-based and suggest using them in DIY household cleaners too. For more plant-based cleaning ideas, see our plant-based dish soap guide.
Is the Ginger Fresh wash safe for babies
The listing does not say. It is sold as a hand and body wash and gives no ingredient or baby-use details, so stick with the baby washes for infants.
