Boticário Boti Baby Gentle Baby Shampoo – Tear-Free, Hypoallergenic & Safe from the First Days of Life – 13.52 fl oz (400 ml)

Boti Baby Gentle Baby Shampoo – 13.52 fl oz (400 ml) is the everyday bath-time shampoo from O Boticário's beloved Boti Baby line, created in Brazil for the fine, delicate hair of babies and small children. It cleanses gently, leaves hair soft, shiny and lightly scented, and never strips or dries the strands.

Made in Brazil and a genuine nursery staple in Brazilian homes, this tear-free formula is safe from the very first days of life, exactly as stated on the label. It is applied by an adult during the bath, and it is hypoallergenic, ophthalmologically tested, and tested, approved and recommended by pediatricians and dermatologists.

The formula is one of the cleanest in the Boti Baby range: 95% naturally derived ingredients, with no ethyl alcohol, no dyes, no parabens and no silicones, plus Niacinamide, Allantoin and marine algae extract. The bottle is refillable, so you can keep it and top it up.

Key Features:

• Tear-free gentle cleansing: a mild, low-irritation surfactant blend that washes away the day without stinging, so bath time stays calm.
• Safe from the first days of life: as stated on the Brazilian label, suitable for newborns onward when applied by an adult.
• Hypoallergenic and ophthalmologically tested: formulated to minimize the possible onset of allergy, and tested, approved and recommended by pediatricians and dermatologists.
• Made for fine, delicate hair: cleanses without drying, helping hair look shiny and feel soft and easy to comb after the bath.
• 95% naturally derived ingredients: free of ethyl alcohol, dyes, parabens and silicones — one of the simplest formulas in the line.
• Baby-safe signature scent: a fragrance developed specifically for a baby's delicate skin, leaving a soft, clean finish.
• Refillable 400 ml bottle: a generous family size in a package designed to be refilled instead of replaced.

How To Use

1. An adult should always apply the product — this shampoo is not for self-application by the child.
2. Pour a small amount of shampoo into one hand.
3. Spread it through the baby's wet hair during the bath, working carefully and shielding the eye area with your free hand.
4. Massage the scalp and hair gently with your fingertips.
5. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat the hair dry with a soft towel.

Expert Tip: Tilt your baby's head slightly back and keep one hand across the forehead as a visor while you rinse — the water runs backward, away from the eyes, and the bath stays relaxed from start to finish.

Ingredients (Highlights)

• Niacinamide (Nicotinamide): a well-known conditioning ingredient that supports the look and feel of soft, healthy-looking hair and scalp.
• Allantoin: a classic soothing agent, valued in baby care for its comforting, softening feel on delicate skin.
• Codium Fragile/Enteromorpha Compressa Extract: a marine algae extract that helps keep hair supple and pleasant to the touch.
• Glycerin: a humectant that helps hold moisture in the hair fiber, so the wash does not leave strands feeling dry.
• Coco-Glucoside & Cocamidopropyl Betaine: mild coconut-derived cleansers that produce a soft lather suited to fine baby hair.
• Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum & Hydrolyzed Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum: plant-derived polymers that help improve slip and make detangling easier after rinsing.

O Boticário was founded in 1977 as a small compounding pharmacy in Curitiba, Paraná, and grew into the largest beauty franchise in Brazil, with thousands of stores across the country and a presence in dozens of markets worldwide. Nearly five decades later, the brand is still known for combining Brazilian botanical inspiration with serious in-house research, and it is certified cruelty-free — O Boticário does not test its products on animals. The Boti Baby line carries that same philosophy into the nursery, with formulas built specifically around the delicate hair and skin of babies.

FAQ

Can I really use this on a newborn?

Yes. The Brazilian label states the product is safe from the first days of life, and it must always be applied by an adult. As with any new product, do a patch test first and check with your pediatrician if your baby has a known skin condition.

Is it actually tear-free?

The formula is described as tear-free and is ophthalmologically tested, so it is designed not to sting. Even so, the label asks you to avoid contact with the eyes, so keep shielding the eye area while you rinse.

Does it contain dyes, parabens, silicones or alcohol?

No. This formula is free of dyes, parabens, silicones and ethyl alcohol, and 95% of its ingredients are of natural origin — which is why it is one of the simplest formulas in the Boti Baby range.

My toddler has fine, tangly hair. Will this help?

It should. The plant-derived gums and conditioning agents add slip, so hair is easier to comb through after rinsing, while the mild cleansers clean without drying the strands.

Is the packaging in Portuguese, and is this the full-size bottle?

Yes on both counts — this is the full 400 ml (13.52 fl oz) family-size bottle shipped from Brazil, so the label is printed in Portuguese. The bottle is refillable, and the usage steps and warnings above are the direct translation of what is printed on it.
