Paul Mitchell Baby Don't Cry Shampoo is a perfect product for kids. The mild shampoo gently cleanses and soothes your baby's hair and scalp.
Product Overview
Paul Mitchell’s Baby Don’t Cry Shampoo is designed especially for babies, toddlers and children, though it can be used by adults with sensitive scalps as well. According to the brand:
It uses mild cleansing agents and a neutral pH so that it’s “tear‑free” — meaning it won’t sting little ones’ eyes.
It includes soothing botanical extracts such as chamomile and coneflower (cornflower) to calm the scalp and skin.
It hydrates while cleansing, helping prevent moisture loss from hair and scalp.
The formula is paraben‑free, gluten‑free, vegan in many markets.
In short: It’s a gentle shampoo built for children’s delicate hair/scalp, with a premium brand behind it.
Key Features & Benefits
Key Features
Tear‑free, neutral pH formula: The shampoo uses mild surfactants and a neutral pH base so that it cleanses without irritating eyes or scalp.
Soothing botanical extracts: Chamomile, coneflower (Echinacea) and other extracts that help calm the scalp and reduce irritation.
Hydrating ingredients: The formula helps retain moisture in hair and scalp — which is important for young or delicate hair prone to dryness.
Gentle & safe for children: Marketed specifically for kids of “all ages” and suitable for delicate skin/hair.
Free of certain harsh ingredients: Many listings state paraben‑free, vegan, gluten‑free, which is a plus for sensitive skin.
Benefits
Less tears at bath time: Because of the gentle, tear‑safe formulation, children (and parents) are less likely to have unpleasant experiences with shampoo in the eyes.
Gentle cleansing: Removes dirt, sweat, and light product/residue without stripping hair of essential moisture.
Scalp comfort: The soothing extracts help calm the scalp and reduce potential discomfort (especially useful for toddlers or sensitive scalps).
Versatility: While aimed at children, the gentle profile means many adults with sensitive hair/scalp or who prefer very mild shampoos may also appreciate it.
Trusted brand: Backed by a well‑known salon hair‑care brand, giving some assurance of formulation quality and standards.

Why Choose This Product?
You might choose this shampoo if you:
Have a baby or young child and want a specialised shampoo that is gentle, tear‑safe and formulated for delicate hair/scalp.
Or you are an adult who has a sensitive scalp, frequently washes hair, or prefers a very mild cleansing product rather than stronger detergents.
Want a product from a premium brand (Paul Mitchell) with salon credentials rather than a mass‑market “baby shampoo” brand.
Appreciate a formulation with soothing botanicals (chamomile, coneflower) and gentle cleansing rather than heavy fragrance or strongly scented formula.
Want to minimise bath‑time tears and make hair‑washing smoother for a child.
Considerations / things to keep in mind:
Even though it’s gentle, if your child’s hair is very greasy or has heavy styling product/residue, a stronger shampoo might occasionally be needed.
This is not primarily a repair shampoo for very damaged hair—its focus is gentle cleansing rather than intense repair.
The price is likely higher than typical children’s or generic gentle shampoos because it’s a premium brand product.
Always patch‑test if your child has very sensitive skin or known allergies—even mild formulas can cause issues rarely.
Because it is gentle and mild, it may not produce as strong a lather or deep‑cleaning effect as more “active” shampoos; some users might need to use a bit more product or repeat if hair is very dirty.

How To Use
Wet the child’s hair and scalp thoroughly with water.
Apply a small amount of the Baby Don’t Cry Shampoo to the hair/scalp.
Gently massage into the scalp and through the hair to work up a mild lather, taking care around eyes.
Rinse thoroughly with water, ensuring no residue remains (residue can irritate scalp or eyes).
If needed (for example after a full day of outdoor play or heavy product use) you may repeat the wash.
Follow with a gentle conditioner if the hair tends to be dry or tangles easily (depending on hair type).
For best results, make wash‑time pleasant: the tear‑safe formula helps minimise discomfort/tears when it touches eyes.
Store the bottle upright, keep at room temperature, and avoid contact with eyes/face. If product enters the eyes, rinse thoroughly.
