About Aquaphor
In the 1920's, pharmacists used Aquaphor as a compounding formula to make medications for skin conditions. Its unique formula of protective ingredients was so effective it was soon commercialized and made available to consumers. Clinically tested and uniquely formulated, the Aquaphor brand is highly recommended by dermatologists and pediatricians.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a good baby shower gift that new parents will actually use?
Yes. A gentle, pediatrician-recommended 2-in-1 wash and shampoo is a practical gift that nearly every new parent uses daily. It fits easily into a baby shower gift bag or welcome basket.
Can I pair the 16.9 oz bottle with the 1 oz travel size as a gift set?
Yes. Many gift givers pair the home-size bottle with the 1 fl oz travel size so new parents get a nursery staple plus a diaper-bag-ready trial size. It is a polished, ready-to-give combination.
Is this appropriate for a coworker expecting their first baby?
It is a thoughtful, gender-neutral, and universally useful baby shower gift, which makes it a safe choice for coworkers, neighbors, and acquaintances where you may not know specific registry preferences.
Should I wrap this bottle or does it look nice on its own?
The clean white-and-blue pump bottle presents well on its own with a simple ribbon, or you can place it in a gift basket alongside a hooded towel, washcloths, and a onesie for a fuller presentation.
Can I include this in a new-parent welcome basket for a friend?
Yes. It is one of the most common welcome-basket essentials because every new parent needs a gentle wash and shampoo from day one.
Is this gift appropriate for a baby shower where the parents already have a registry?
It complements most registries as an add-on or standalone practical gift. It is also a great pick for showers where you want a small, useful gift rather than a large-ticket item.
Will this look like a thoughtful gift or just a basic bottle of soap?
The 2-in-1 design, pediatrician recommendation, and travel-size companion make it feel like a curated care pick rather than a generic item. Adding a ribbon or pairing it with a baby towel elevates the presentation.
Is the travel size useful for grandparents who babysit often?
Yes. The 1 fl oz size is designed for diaper bags, overnight bags, and grandparent houses. It lets caregivers keep a gentle, tear-free wash on hand without buying a full-size bottle.
Can I send this as a Valentine's or 'thinking of you' gift for a new mom?
Yes. A practical self-care item for a new mom, like a baby wash and shampoo, doubles as a thoughtful gesture that signals you understand the daily realities of newborn care.
How does this compare to gifting a cute outfit or stuffed animal?
Unlike clothing that may be outgrown quickly, a daily-use wash and shampoo is consumed and repurchased, meaning new parents think of you every bath time. It is a more lasting, functional gift.
Is this a better gift than a generic baby lotion or powder?
For parents who want a multi-use, sensitive-skin-friendly product, the 2-in-1 wash and shampoo replaces several bottles and is consumed faster, making it a higher-utility gift.
Why is this a smart shower gift for parents who already have one child?
Second- and third-time parents appreciate restocking trusted staples. A pediatrician-recommended tear-free wash and shampoo is a safe, well-loved choice they will use immediately.
Is the price point appropriate for a group office gift?
The 16.9 fl oz size lands in an accessible mid-range price, which works well for a solo gift, a small group contribution, or an office baby shower collection.
How do I use the Aquaphor Baby Wash and Shampoo during a typical bath?
Pump a small amount into your palm, apply to wet hair and body, gently massage, and rinse thoroughly. The tear-free formula is designed for use from the newborn stage through toddlerhood.
How much wash should I use per bath for a newborn versus a toddler?
One to two pumps is usually enough for a newborn. Toddlers with more hair may need two to three pumps. The pump-top design makes it easy to dispense the right amount without waste.
Can I use this wash and shampoo on my baby's face and around the eyes?
Yes. The tear-free, mild formula is gentle enough for use on the face and around the eyes. Avoid direct contact with the inner eye, but incidental contact during rinsing is safe.
Is this product compatible with cloth diapers and sensitive skin routines?
Yes. The paraben-free, preservative-free, fragrance-free formula is compatible with cloth diaper households and is a common choice among parents who follow gentle, ingredient-conscious routines.
Will this work for both home use and travel in the 1 fl oz size?
Yes. The 1 fl oz travel size is designed for diaper bags, overnight stays, daycare, and airplane travel. The pump-top home size is meant for nursery and bathroom use.
What comes in the box when I order this product?
You will receive one pump-top bottle of Aquaphor Baby Wash and Shampoo in the size you select (16.9 fl oz home size or 1 fl oz travel size). The pump is included and ready to use.
Is this product safe if my baby has been diagnosed with eczema?
Many pediatricians recommend gentle, fragrance-free, paraben-free cleansers for babies with eczema-prone skin. This formula meets those criteria, but always follow your pediatrician's specific advice for your baby's care plan.
How should I store the bottle to keep the formula fresh?
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The pump-top design helps limit air and water exposure, which keeps the formula fresh between uses.
What is the difference between a 2-in-1 baby wash and shampoo and a separate baby body wash plus shampoo?
A 2-in-1 product is formulated to cleanse both hair and skin in one step, which simplifies bath time and reduces the number of products in your routine. Separate body wash and shampoo products are designed for one specific use each and may be preferred by parents who want different formulations for hair and body.
