Gentlest picks for babies

Baby products are the most fearmongered aisle in the store, so here is the plain version: the things actually worth watching on a baby label are fragrance blends and essential-oil allergens, not the usual scare list (baby oil is mineral oil, and the published evidence does not support that fear). These are the baby-marketed products that score best on our rubric, ranked by PlainScore. Not medical advice; ask your pediatrician about anything skin-related in the first months.
