Lorenay Disney Cars 2-in-1 Bath & Shampoo 475ml

Cars has stayed popular with small children far longer than most Disney films, and Lightning McQueen still does more to get a four year old into a bath than any amount of reasoning from a parent. If that is the fight in your house, this is the bottle to buy.

Underneath the branding, Lorenay make this in Spain as a proper children's product. It is a bubble bath and a shampoo in the same bottle, with an extra-mild pH-balanced formula that respects the natural hydration of skin and hair, vitamin E, vitamin A, and no parabens.

Being one bottle rather than two matters more than it sounds. Anyone who has tried to shampoo a small child while they are busy playing knows the window is short.

The formula is the same across the whole Lorenay range. Minnie Mouse, Star Wars, Disney Cars, My Little Pony and The Incredibles are one product in five bottles. So do not agonise over which is better for their skin - buy the character that will get them into the bath without an argument. That is the only difference that matters here.

Ages 3 and up. This is not a baby product. For infants and newborns the Kodomo hair & body wash is the right choice, and it is formulated tear-free for exactly that reason.

Worth knowing: 475ml, and a capful per bath goes a long way. Lightly scented rather than unscented. Keep it out of the eyes, since this is a children's wash rather than a tear-free baby formula.
