In the first two months since baby was born, we used
Cetaphil to make sure that it is gentle enough for baby’s skin. Once the last bottle ran out, we switched to
Burt Bees baby Shampoo and Wash. We
haven’t used any other soap for baby ever since.
First off, compared to Cetaphil, Burt Bees is naturally more
fragrant. Its scent stays on baby for
most of the day. The true acid test came
during these hot summer days. Burt Bee’s
scent usually lasts for 8 hours or more on our baby, but nowadays, it’s more
like 4-5 hours tops. Still a good number
of hours considering baby needs a wipe down with a wet towelette every 4 hours
these days. Plus, we’re not using baby
powder (yet).
Next, Burt Bees, though more expensive per bottle (750.00 at
your local Beauty Bar) seems to be cheaper than Cetaphil since you don’t need
use too much product to get baby clean.
A large Cetaphil bottle used to last for just a month and a half while
Burt Bees lasts for 2 months or more. If
you don’t mind the higher cash out (Cetaphil sells at 600.00 at Watsons), I suggest Burt Bees is the way to go.
I’ve never had issues with either Cetaphil or Burt Bees when
it comes to skin sensitivity. I guess,
at the end of the day, both products are able to do the job they’re meant to
do, only Burt Bees seems to save me a few moolahs in the process while keeping
my baby smelling good.
The one thing that Cetaphil has over Burt Bees is the
availability. Cetaphil is available in
Mercury Drug stores and Watsons, or even
in some SM Mall Department Stores.
Meanwhile, Burt Bees is only available in Rustan’s and Beauty Bar shops.
