Tangled hair — we’ve all been there. From post-shower bed-head to messy knots after a windy day, tangles slow your routine and stress your strands. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our brand new Cherry on Top Leave-In Spray Detangler, a lightweight mist formulated to effortlessly smooth, soften, and release tangles — all while being kind to your hair and scalp. Why the Right Detangling Spray Matters When you’re looking for a true detangler spray (not just another leave-in), two things matter most: slip (ease of combing) and gentle, effective ingredients. Many detanglers rely on heavy silicones or irritants that can build up on hair or bother sensitive scalps. Our formula focuses on clean-beauty performance: detangle efficiently, nourish effectively, and reduce stress on both hair and routine. Key Ingredients & Benefits Jackfruit Extract – Known for its hydrating properties, helps to combat dryness and frizz. Hydrolyzed Lemon Protein – By forming a weightless film on hair shaft, it reflects light and creates noticeable shine. Pisum Sativum Pea Peptide – Rich in essential amino acids that help give hair strands their structure and strength, making them less prone to breakage. Fresh, Kid-Friendly Scent – Our bestselling All Natural Cherry scent that makes detangling feel like a treat, not a chore. No Harsh Additives – Formulated without heavy silicones or questionable preservatives to help minimize buildup and irritation. How to Use It for Best Results After washing (or on dry hair as needed), hold the bottle 8–10 inches from hair. Lightly mist mid-lengths and ends; avoid over-spraying roots. Use a comb or brush, starting at the ends and working up toward roots. Style as usual for a soft, glossy, knot-free finish. Pro tip: For extra-tangled hair, lightly mist your brush first and work in small sections to minimize friction and breakage. Who It’s For All hair types (fine to coarse, straight to curly) Kids and adults — thanks to our gentle, scalp-friendly formula Anyone who detangles frequently and wants fast results without buildup Daily use as a leave-in mist that also detangles Why You’ll Love It Faster detangling: Brush through knots instead of wrestling them. Less breakage: Reduced tugging means healthier hair over time. Softer, smoother finish: Emollients and humectants boost smoothness, texture, and shine. Scalp-friendly: Lightweight feel, made without harsh additives. FAQs Can I use it on wet and dry hair? Yes. On damp hair it helps resolve fresh tangles; on dry hair it works as a refreshing detangling mist for midday knots. Is it safe for children or sensitive scalps? Absolutely. Our gentle, low-irritant formula is designed to be kid-friendly and scalp-friendly. How often should I use it? As often as you like. Use after each wash or whenever tangles appear — the lightweight formula won’t weigh hair down. Shop the Spray Detangler  Tip: Pair with our gentle 3-in-1s and conditioner for a complete bath-to-brush routine.

Protecting Kids’ Skin Microbiomes: What Parents Should Know Author: Dabble & Dollop • Last updated: September 30, 2025 Key takeaways The skin microbiome—billions of microbes living on the skin surface—supports the skin barrier and overall skin health.[1][8] Children’s skin performs best near a slightly acidic pH (~4.5–5.5); repeated use of alkaline soaps (often pH 9–10) can impair barrier function and disturb microbial balance.[1][2][3] Eczema (atopic dermatitis) affects roughly 10–20% of children globally, and U.S. prevalence has risen over recent decades.[4][5][6] “Microbiome-friendly” usually means no meaningful disruption to microbial diversity in standardized tests; there is no single “perfect” microbiome profile defined yet.[7][8] Pediatric guidance favors simple routines: a gentle, low-pH cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen; avoid unnecessary adult-strength actives for kids unless advised by a clinician.[9][10] Definitions Skin microbiome: the community of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that live on skin and help defend against pathogens and inflammation.[8] Skin barrier: the outer layers of skin (including the stratum corneum) plus chemical/immune/microbial defenses that keep water in and irritants out; it works best at a slightly acidic pH.[1][2] Dysbiosis: disrupted microbial balance/diversity associated with barrier dysfunction and conditions like eczema.[8] pH: acidity/alkalinity scale. Skin is naturally acidic (~4–6); many traditional “true soaps” are alkaline (often pH 9–10).[3] Why the microbiome matters for kids When the skin barrier is dry or compromised, tiny fissures make it easier for irritants and microbes to aggravate skin, contributing to blemishes and eczema-like conditions. Evidence shows that maintaining an acidic skin pH supports barrier integrity and resident flora, whereas alkaline routines weaken both over time.[1][2] There’s also cultural pressure for kids to try adult products (e.g., strong exfoliants/retinoids). Pediatric and dermatology sources caution that these are unnecessary and potentially irritating for developing skin; a simple, gentle routine is preferred.[9][10] Interpreting “microbiome-friendly” claims Third-party programs (e.g., standards focused on infant skin) typically assess whether a formula does not reduce microbial diversity or hinder growth under test conditions.[7] This is useful for demonstrating “no disruption”, but the science has not defined a single ideal microbiome for every child. Reviews emphasize inter-individual variability and the need for standardized methods.[8] What actually helps children’s skin Use pH-balanced (≈5–5.5), gentle cleansers. Skin thrives in a slightly acidic environment; repeated alkaline exposure impairs barrier homeostasis and increases susceptibility to irritants such as SLS.[2][11] Moisturize daily with barrier-supporting lotions/creams. Avoid routine adult-strength actives (e.g., high-strength acids, retinoids) unless directed by a clinician.[9][10] Understand medications’ tradeoffs: topical antibiotics or benzoyl peroxide can alter microbial communities (sometimes necessary and appropriate for specific conditions).[17][18] Where eczema fits in Eczema burdens many families: estimates suggest ~10–20% of children are affected globally, and U.S. prevalence increased from ~8% (1997) to ~13% (2018).[4][5][6] For eczema-prone children, simpler, pH-smart routines can reduce irritation triggers. In some contexts, even water-only washing has performed no worse than cleanser during remission (seasonal/specific settings).[21] Our point of view To us, “microbiome-friendly” should at minimum indicate gentleness, acidic pH near skin’s natural level, and no material disruption in standardized tests. Until a universal clinical target exists, we will continue following peer-reviewed science and evolving with credible evidence. References Lambers H.

Disrupting “Big Bubble”: The Dabble & Dollop Way At Dabble & Dollop, we aren’t just here to make bubble bath—we’re here to disrupt an entire industry. The world of children's bath and body care has been dominated for too long by giant corporations that prioritize profits over people. We believe it’s time for a change, and we’re leading the charge. Here’s the who, what, why, when, and how of how Dabble & Dollop is disrupting “Big Bubble.” WHO We Are We are a team of parents, creators, and dreamers who saw a gap in the marketplace and decided to fill it. Dabble & Dollop was founded with a simple mission: to create safe, high-quality, and incredibly fun bath products that parents can trust, and that kids absolutely love. Our products blend creativity and joy with the highest safety standards, giving families a better bath time experience. We’re a brand built on values—values that put families first, not profits. WHAT We’re Doing We’re not just making bubbles. We’re changing the entire product experience. “Big Bubble” brands pump out basic, one-size-fits-all products that are often filled with questionable ingredients. According to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics[1], many mass-market bath products rely on synthetic fragrances and preservatives that can irritate children’s skin. We do the exact opposite. Dabble & Dollop’s products are clean, safe, and customizable. We give families the freedom to mix and match scents, create their own bath-time concoctions, and make every bath a playful, creative adventure. And we do all of this while maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and transparency. WHY It Matters Why disrupt “Big Bubble”? Because we believe families deserve better. Bath time is an intimate, cherished moment in a family’s day—why settle for products mass-produced with little thought for safety, fun, or individuality? The American Academy of Dermatology[2] notes that children’s skin is more sensitive and prone to irritation, meaning ingredient quality matters. Big brands often use synthetic fragrances, harsh chemicals, and dozens of ingredients that parents wouldn’t choose if they knew better. At Dabble & Dollop, we’re committed to using only the cleanest, minimalistic ingredients, while also offering something fun and unique that both kids and parents enjoy. WHEN the Shift Happens The time is now. Families are becoming more aware of what they use on their skin, what they put in their bodies, and what brands they support. A McKinsey report[3] highlights the growing demand for transparency and clean-label products across consumer categories. Parents are questioning the status quo and looking for products that align with their values—products that are safe, ethical, and enjoyable. Dabble & Dollop is stepping into that space with a fresh, fun, and trustworthy alternative. HOW We’ll Do It We’re not alone in this mission. Our passionate community of brand ambassadors, customers, and partners are the key to our success. Together, we’re creating a movement. We’re proving that a smaller, family-focused brand can challenge the big players by building genuine connections, offering exceptional products, and caring deeply about our customers. We’ve made it easy for anyone to join us in this mission. Whether it’s by becoming a brand ambassador, spreading the word, or simply choosing Dabble & Dollop products over the mass-produced alternatives, each small action contributes to a bigger wave of change. The Bottom Line Dabble & Dollop is here to change the way families think about bath time. We’re here to offer something more than just bubbles—we’re offering a better, more joyful experience for both kids and parents. We may be taking on “Big Bubble,” but with a community as passionate as ours, we know that together, we can bring about real change. The future is clean, creative, and filled with joy. Let’s disrupt “Big Bubble” and make waves in the bath and body care world, one bottle at a time.

Dabble & Dollop was born from a mother’s love, a passion for natural ingredients, and a belief that bath time should be safe, fun, and creative.

Now, after listening to our amazing customers, we’re thrilled to launch in Target stores nationwide, bringing our non-toxic, USA-made, kid-safe bath essentials to more families than ever before.

We are going into 2025 with major growth plans and continued investment in product development and retail opportunity! Without the 76% referral rate from our valued customers, we would’ve been another “indie” DTC brand having to close our business. The following has set us apart. Our loyal customers. Our clean ingredients, all-natural scents and thorough safety testing. Our beautiful PCR bottles with their modern color palette and adorable character illustrations. Our focus on child-first interests like mixing, blending, and layering. Our committed team, with shared values of creativity, connection, and joy. Our New Year’s message is simple.

Download Here   Bathing isn't just about staying clean; it's crucial for maintaining a robust skin barrier! To achieve this, it's essential to keep your skin moisturized and avoid harsh surfactants or too many varying products, that can strip skin of its natural oils. These harsh ingredients can create tiny holes in the skin barrier, leading to moisture loss and allowing environmental toxins to penetrate. Ensure skin remains moisturized by evaluating your current bath products—assess their ingredients, quantities, and their potency in promoting optimal skin health for your little ones. Look for gentle, hydrating products that nourish and shield their skin effectively. To further support skin health, especially for children prone to eczema, consider using our Child Eczema Trigger Identification Checklist. This visual tool is designed to help parents pinpoint or narrow down potential triggers for their child's eczema flare-ups.  While direct skin contact is often the most obvious culprit, we recognize that eliminating variables is the biggest challenge for parents, especially considering the long list of ingredients in many skincare products! That's why we start from the basics, focusing on factors beyond direct skin contact—such as diet, clothing, and environmental conditions—to help identify the true triggers that could also be contributing to skin irritations. Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, can be exacerbated by various factors, including allergens, irritants, environmental conditions, and skincare products. By systematically tracking and monitoring different categories of triggers, parents can gain valuable insights into what may be contributing to their child's eczema symptoms.  This checklist covers a wide-range of potential triggers, from common food allergens to environmental factors, stress, and skincare products.  To use the checklist, simply mark each category as you observe correlations between specific triggers and your child's eczema flare-ups.  With this information, you'll be better equipped to make informed decisions about lifestyle adjustments, skincare routines, and environmental modifications.  Remember, every child's eczema triggers may be unique, so it's essential to carefully observe and track your child's reactions over time. If you have any concerns or questions about your child's eczema management, don't hesitate to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance. We hope this checklist serves as a helpful tool in your journey to support your little one's skin health and overall well-being.   Curious about tips for including allergens in your baby’s diet?
