These are the two products I purchases at Target Friday night. They were $8.99 a piece. You can either click on the pictures above to go directly to the page on California Baby for that product or you can just read some of the info I'm posting below.The products I bought are from the "calming" scent line. I've used them on her twice. After her bath you can't smell the scent on her skin, probably because I use a non-scented lotion after her bath, but you can smell it on her hair. It's very herby. I can't say I LOVE it. Of course I didn't like the smell of the Johnson's kids 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner for fine/straight hair when I first got that either, but I eventually got used to it. So who knows, I may get used to the herby smell too. I don't hate it. It's not like I think her hair stinks after I give her a bath. I just don't LOOOOOOVE it like I did the scent of the normal Johnson's baby shampoo. The body wash/shampoo doesn't suds up on the wash cloth or in her hair as well as the Johnson's or Suave products I normally use. I had to re-soap the wash cloth a couple times to get her whole body washed. The products do seem to get her clean although her hair doesn't feel quite the same as it did with her Johnson's or Suave shampoo/conditioner combos. Maybe I'm not getting the conditioner rinsed out good enough? Or maybe it's just the lack of all those artificial chemicals that leave shine and make soap suds up...so those two issues could be a good thing.
Hailey was very excited about her new "bath soaps" and kept asking "What's that Mommy?" She didn't seem to mind the scent a bit and they didn't affect her skin at all--no rashes, no redness, no itching, no bumps etc.
I'm going to continue to use the products til they're gone and see if the scent grows on me. If I still don't love the smell and Target doesn't get in any of the unscented products I'll order some off the website and give those a try. They're nice because unlike normal "unscented" products from say Jergen's or Suave, the California Baby unscented products are truly unscented--meaning they don't include any "scent masking agents" (ie. more chemicals!) like normal unscented products do. I'd also like to try the Super Sensitive Everyday Lotion and the Hair Detangler.

I am really picky about scents. So I will have to go smelling around at Target. Usually all of ours have at least one of a certain product opened up. So I will smell away, lol.
In regards to the shampoo/bodywash.. the first few times I washed my hair with it, I was kinda disappointed with the "lack of stripped-clean" feeling, too - but now, my hair feels healthier for it.. tried using my husband's "regular" shampoo one day and my hair felt dried to a crisp, even after conditioner.
