We are thrilled to announce Dabble & Dollop’s nationwide rollout into Walmart’s expanded Kids Bath section nationwide, with assortment varying by store. The Walmart launch marks a huge milestone for our independent, family owned and operated brand, and comes after our nationwide Target entrance with assortment varying by store in 2025. It is also a huge win for families nationwide as our natural origin, minimalistic, scent-forward, sensory-rich products are now easily accessible through the two largest US retailers. The assortment includes three of Dabble & Dollop’s popular 3-in-1 products in Strawberry, Blueberry and Vanilla, two of our viral Mini Drops™ Bath Bomb Variety Packs in Fresh Fruit & Tropical, two brand new value-sized Bubble Baths in Honeydew and Coconut, Sponge Pop™ - a body-wash infused super soft sponge - and two “mystery products” – representing the brand’s first ever Brand collaboration. These two products are only discoverable for a limited time at select Walmart stores and on Walmart.com. Have you spotted them yet?  There are very few, if any, independent, family-owned and operated choices in mass retailers today. We’re incredibly proud and grateful that Walmart has given us the space to grow and thrive, and reach more families nationwide. We’re literally jumping for joy! Check out our store locator and when you find us in store, take a shelfie and tag us – we won’t grow without your support.

Why Expertise Matters When Choosing Bath Products for Children | Dabble & Dollop

Understanding Baby Skin: Why Formulation Matters At birth, baby’s skin barrier is fragile, immature and 30% thinner than a mature skin barrier with an acidic pH. That's why all Dabble Baby products are formulated at pH 5.5 to match the pH of baby’s skin.  Baby skin barriers: Are more susceptible to TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss) Have difficulty regulated cold/hot temperatures Are prone to infection and damage (dryness, redness, itching, irritation) At 2-4 years, the skin barrier reaches skin maturity. The Role of Vernix: Baby’s First Skin Protector Babies are born with a natural vernix, a protective, waxy, white coating on newborn’s skin, made of water, lipids, and proteins. Vernix acts as a powerful: Natural moisturizer Temperature regulator  Antimicrobial barrier This is why many healthcare providers, and Dabble & Dollop recommend delaying baby’s first bath at least 24 hours. The Acid Mantle: A Delicate, Essential Defense Babies are also born with an “acid mantle”, which is their natural buffer system located in the upper stratum corneum (outermost layer of skin). An acidic pH is essential because it: Sustains the acid mantle’s function Regulates the microbiome, structural stability Helps control inflammation Shifts in pH can disrupt barrier properties and impact dermatologic disease processes, like Eczema. This is why it is so crucial that baby products need to be lower pH (5.5). Lower pH is also essential to ensure that bubble bath and hair and body washes used on baby are tear-free, and don’t cause any ocular irritation.   What do we mean when we say “Less Ingredients. More Love”? Using minimal ingredients means reducing unnecessary chemical exposures. It is essential that products used on baby are: Fragrance-free Gentle pH balanced Minimalistic We only formulate products with what is necessary and functional (a “do no harm” approach) to care for baby’s skin. Babies need a lot of love and skin to skin contact, and we want caretakers to feel confident about their care routines. We empower caretakers with evidence-based care, rooted in safe, proven, natural origin and microbiome-friendly ingredients. Our EWG-Verified badge further validates the safety of our creations.   Are you concerned about eczema? Sadly, 1 in 5 children will have eczema. The average onset is typically 2-3 months of age – again, this is why limited exposures is critical at this stage. If you suspect your baby has eczema, it is essential to get an accurate diagnosis from a pediatric dermatologist to identify triggers. Likely, allergy testing can identify a trigger (eg a food allergy or environmental factor). Pediatric dermatologists will certainly tell you to avoid fragranced products, but they should also tell you to watch out for long ingredient decks riddled with unnecessary, potentially irritating extracts that provide no value for baby skin. If a brand claims their fragrance is natural – ask them to be transparent about the fragrance ingredients. If they hide this, it is a concern – this means you could be inadvertently exposing your baby to potential allergens – they exist in nature too! Moisture Is Critical — For All Babies Cosmetic & Personal Care products, and even dermatologist-prescribed medications cannot cure eczema, because eczema is a disease, but they can help alleviate the symptoms if the products used are formulated properly. An essential way to control eczema flare ups is to relieve dry skin.  Dry skin leads to itching, scratching, redness, swelling, and tiny holes in the skin barrier that create an environment ripe for infection. So, whether your baby has eczema or not, it is critical that their skin be moisturized. A recent AAD study showed that using a moisturizer may make a difference:The group of children being moisturized developed 50% less AD than the other group of children. Dabble & Dollop baby utilizes proven functional ingredients like glycerin, beta glucan and jojoba for hydration and moisturization. When Is It Okay to Introduce Scented Products? Once your baby has reached skin maturity (typically 2-4 years), you can try Dabble & Dollop’s safely scented products. We recommend using Dabble & Dollop’s range of naturally-scented bubble baths, shampoos and body washes because: They are third party tested to be non-irritating  The scent blends are disclosed, making it easy for parents to know what scent components are perfectly safe for their children  We ensure all of our washes do not have any ocular irritation potential and use a third party to ensure this fact When a brand sells a scented product and does not disclose the components, it is impossible for caretakers to know what may be the cause of any irritation. Some parents may be tempted to try safely-scented products prior to 2 years old and that is entire up to the caretaker’s level of comfort with the disclosed scent ingredients.   Reputable Resources for Evidence-Based Care of Infant Skin & Childhood Eczema Infant Skin 101: Skin Barrier Function in Infants: Update & Outlook Pharmaceutics What is Eczema?

Starting today, we’re lowering the price of our 3-in-1 Shampoo, Body Wash, & Bubble Bath to $9.99 per bottle. We know how it feels to balance a family budget right now; we’re doing it, too. For a long time, you’ve told us that you love our bubbles but wished they were a little more affordable. We’ve been working hard to make that happen, and we’re finally in a position to do it.   How We’re Doing It: Since we source and manufacture everything right here in the USA, we’ve been able to avoid many of the shipping headaches and tariffs other brands face. As our company grows, we’re finding ways to be more efficient. Instead of keeping those savings, we’re passing them directly to you. Why We’re Doing It: Dabble & Dollop was started by a parent, for parents. We’ve never believed that "safe and high-quality" should come with a "premium" price tag. Our 3-in-1 line was designed to make life simpler: one bottle, three uses, and less clutter. We hope this new price helps our products find their way into more tubs and nightly routines across the country.   A bubble bath won't change the world, but it does offer a moment of peace and a chance to connect with your little ones. If this price drop helps your family even a little bit, we’re proud to make it. Thanks for being part of our story,The Dabble & Dollop Family   SHOP 3-IN-1'S

Jump to: Why Kids’ Skin Gets Dry in Winter The 3-Step Winter Routine Product Picks We Love for Winter Quick Tips for Everyday Comfort FAQs: Winter Skincare for Kids Safety & Ingredient Standards Why Kids’ Skin Gets Dry in Winter Cold air outside + heated indoor air = low humidity, which can make delicate skin feel tight or flaky. Add long, hot baths and heavy towels, and moisture disappears even faster. The fix isn’t more steps—it’s fewer, gentler steps done consistently. The 3-Step Winter Routine (Cleanse → Pat Dry → Moisturize) Step 1: Cleanse with lukewarm water (not hot) Short baths or showers are best—aim for 5–10 minutes. Choose a dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic cleanser designed for delicate skin. Step 2: Pat dry, don’t rub Leaving just a tiny amount of water on the skin is OK. Rubbing can increase friction; patting is gentler on the skin. Step 3: Moisturize within 3 minutes Apply lotion while skin is still slightly damp to help lock in hydration. Pro move: Keep your lotion right next to the tub so it becomes part of your bath-to-towel rhythm. Product Picks We Love for Winter 3-in-1s (Bubble Bath + Body Wash + Shampoo) A creamy, tear-free lather that cleans without stripping. Our washes are dye-free and scented with 100% natural fragrance (ISO 9235)—playful bubbles, gentle by design. Why it helps in winter: A soft cleanse supports your moisture routine—no harsh surfactants needed. What parents love: Minimal-ingredient formulas (10 or fewer), dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic. Shop 3-in-1s Lightweight Lotions Fast-absorbing, non-sticky moisture kids will love—perfect right after the bath. Why it helps in winter: Seals in hydration from the bath when applied within 3 minutes. What parents love: Minimal ingredients, comforting feel, designed for daily use. Shop Lotions Bath Bombs Short, lukewarm soaks can still be fizzy and fun. Our bombs use naturally derived colorants (never petroleum dyes) to keep bath time exciting—especially on chilly nights. Why it helps in winter: Fun encourages short, gentle baths, which is exactly what delicate skin prefers. What parents love: A playful variety of scents and colors that stay in the bath—not on skin or tubs. Shop Bath Bombs   Bonus: If static hat-hair strikes all winter, our Cherry on Top Detangler helps make brushing quick and tug-free, so you can keep bath time short and sweet. Quick Tips for Everyday Comfort Skip hot water: Lukewarm water is kinder to the skin barrier. Time your lotion: Moisturize within 3 minutes after bathing. Humidify at night: A cool-mist humidifier adds back moisture to the air. Fabric matters: Soft towels and breathable pajamas reduce friction. Rotate scents playfully: Keep routines fun with mix-and-match fragrances from natural sources—kids stay engaged, parents stay consistent. FAQs: Winter Skincare for Kids How often should my child bathe in winter? Aim for short, lukewarm baths or showers a few times per week, and quick rinses as needed for play, sweat, or spills. What temperature counts as “lukewarm”? Comfortable but not hot—think warm tap water you can leave your hand under for a full minute without discomfort. Are Dabble & Dollop products safe for sensitive skin? Yes—our formulas are dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, and designed with ingredient minimalism (10 or fewer per product). Do you use artificial dyes or synthetic fragrance? Our washes are dye-free and scented with 100% natural fragrance (ISO 9235). Bath bombs use naturally derived colorants. My child has specific skin conditions. What should I do? Our washes are hypoallergenic, pH-balanced, and safe for sensitive skin, but always consult your dermatologist for eczema or specific skin concerns. Safety & Ingredient Standards Dabble & Dollop products are dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, and crafted to be gentle on purpose. We keep formulas simple and say a firm “no” to: Sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones Polysorbates and formaldehyde donors Petroleum-based dyes (our washes are dye-free) We’re proud of what we leave out—and what we put in: playful scents, clean ingredients, and kid-friendly routines that make consistency easy.
