HiPP BabySoft Face and Hand Washing Foam, 250 ml with a 250 ml refill
This is the HiPP Babysanft washing foam, a European baby wash made for faces and hands rather than for the whole body. It comes out of the pump as a soft, creamy foam, which is the point: a child can work it between their own hands without any of it being poured, squeezed or spilled. HiPP gives the age as 0+ months, so it is suitable from the first weeks, and it keeps being useful long into the hand-washing years.
The listing is the 250 ml pump bottle together with an extra 250 ml refill, so there is 500 ml of foam in total and a second round without buying a new pump. The bottle is the one with the duck on it, which is the reason a lot of children will go to the sink at all.
It is soap-free and pH skin-neutral, and HiPP has had the eye compatibility medically tested, so it is built not to sting. The recipe carries organic almond extract, the ingredient that runs through the whole Babysanft line, along with panthenol and allantoin.

Who this foam is for
Two jobs, really. On a baby it is a gentle face and hand wash for the bits that need cleaning between baths, which in practice is the face after a meal and the hands after everything. On a toddler or older child it becomes the thing that makes hand washing happen on its own, because the foam is already foam and nothing has to be rubbed up out of a bar or a gel.
HiPP builds it for sensitive baby skin, and the claim block on the pack is where that shows: no paraffin oil, no dyes, no PEG emulsifiers, no parabens, no microplastic particles and no allergy-suspected fragrances. It is lightly scented rather than fragrance-free, and Parfum does appear on the panel, so if you want nothing scented at all this is not the one.
If you want a wash for the whole body instead
This foam is for faces and hands by design. For hair and body together there is HiPP Baby Gentle Care 2 in 1 Shampoo and Shower Gel, 200 ml, and for a larger head-to-toe bottle there is HiPP Baby Head to Toe Wash Gel, 400 ml. Each is a separate product with its own ingredient panel.
How to use it at the sink
HiPP publishes no quantity of foam per wash and no washing frequency for this product, so neither is stated. The steps below are general practice at a sink, not manufacturer instructions.
1
Wet the hands first
Warm water, briefly. The foam spreads further on damp skin than on dry, so this is not just habit.
2
One press of the pump
The foam arrives ready-made, so one press into a cupped palm is usually plenty for a small pair of hands. A second press is for a face, not a bigger lather.
3
Let them do the rubbing
Palms, backs of the hands, between the fingers, around the thumbs. This is the part worth drawing out, and the foam is forgiving enough that it does not matter how long it takes.
4
On a face, go around the eyes
The eye compatibility is tested, but tested is not the same as invisible. Work around the eyes rather than over them.
5
Rinse thoroughly with clean water
Rinse until the slip has gone from the skin. Any wash left on the skin is more likely to dry it than the washing was.
6
Pat dry, do not rub
A soft towel, pressed rather than dragged. On a baby, check the creases of the neck and the wrists, because that is where water sits.
Refilling the pump
The second 250 ml in this listing is a refill for the bottle you already have, which is the point of buying them together. Pour it into the empty pump rather than decanting it into something else, keep the cap on what is left, and store it upright. Do not top up a bottle that still has foam in it; let the pump run out first so you are not mixing an old charge with a new one.
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes and rinse with clean water if it happens. Keep the bottle out of reach of children when it is not in use, and do not let a child drink from it. Stop using it if the skin becomes red or irritated, and speak to your doctor or pharmacist if that does not settle. Check the ingredient panel on your own bottle before first use.
What is in the HiPP washing foam
A short, mild surfactant base with sugar-derived and amino-acid-derived cleansers rather than soap, plus glycerin to hold water in the skin and three skin-conditioning additions: organic almond seed extract, panthenol and allantoin. The pH is adjusted with citric acid, which is how a soap-free wash is brought to skin-neutral.
Ingredients: Aqua, Coco-Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Glycerin, Citric Acid, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Extract, Panthenol, Allantoin, Tocopherol, Propylene Glycol, Glyceryl Oleate, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate, Denatonium Benzoate, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Chloride, Parfum.
Transcribed from the ingredient panel carried on this listing, and matching HiPP's own published panel for the Babysanft Waschschaum entry for entry. Formulations are revised from time to time, so the panel printed on your bottle governs. Read it before first use.
| On the panel | What it is |
|---|---|
| Coco-Glucoside | A mild sugar-derived cleanser |
| Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate | A mild amino-acid-derived cleanser |
| Glycerin | A humectant, holds water in the skin |
| Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Extract | Sweet almond seed extract |
| Panthenol | Provitamin B5, a skin conditioner |
| Allantoin | A skin-soothing conditioner |
| Citric Acid | Adjusts the pH to skin-neutral |
| Denatonium Benzoate | A bittering agent, to discourage drinking it |
| Tocopherol | Vitamin E, used as an antioxidant |
| Parfum | The delicate scent |
The table translates the main ingredients only, is not in panel order, and is not the full panel; the list above it is complete.
Allergens: this foam contains Parfum, and it contains sweet almond as Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Extract. A cosmetic carries no statutory allergen declaration, so this is a read-the-label note rather than a declaration. If there is a nut allergy in the family, check the panel on the bottle and ask your doctor.
What HiPP leaves out of it
- Soap-free
- No paraffin oil
- No dyes
- No PEG emulsifiers
- No parabens
- No microplastic particles
- No allergy-suspected fragrances
No microplastic particles. HiPP's own footnote defines its microplastic-free claim as a recipe without water-soluble, purely synthetic polymers. No allergy-suspected fragrances means the declarable fragrance allergens are left out; it does not mean the product is unscented, and Parfum is on the panel.
What is not claimed for this product
HiPP has the eye compatibility of this foam medically tested, and that is the only testing claim made for it here. HiPP does not publish a dermatological skin-compatibility statement for the washing foam on its own product page, so none is given, even though other products in the Babysanft line do carry one. No skin condition is named: this is a mild cleanser, not a treatment, and no claim is made about any diagnosed skin complaint. There is no organic certification on the product either. It carries organic almond extract as an ingredient, which is not the same as being a certified organic cosmetic, so no EU Organic claim is made.
What you get, and how far 500 ml goes
A 250 ml pump bottle and a 250 ml refill pouch, bought together. That is 500 ml of foam in total, and one pump bottle that gets used twice instead of thrown away once.
| What | This listing |
|---|---|
| Pump bottle | 250 ml |
| Refill | 250 ml |
| Total volume | 500 ml |
| Fluid ounces, total | About 16.9 fl oz |
| Age from | Birth, 0+ months |
| Format | Pump foam, for face and hands |
| pH | Skin-neutral |
| Washes per bottle | Not published |
About 16.9 fl oz is arithmetic from 500 ml and is given for convenience. Washes per bottle is left blank on purpose: HiPP publishes no quantity of foam per wash, and a press that does a baby's face is not the same as a press that does a four-year-old's hands after the garden. A number here would look precise and would not be.

Frequently asked questions
From what age can I use it?
From birth. HiPP gives the age as 0+ months. On a young baby it is a face and hand wash between baths rather than something you need every day.
Does it sting the eyes?
It is built not to, and HiPP states the eye compatibility has been medically tested. That is not the same as having no effect, so work around the eyes and rinse with clean water if any gets in.
Is it fragrance-free?
No. It is delicately scented and Parfum appears on the ingredient panel. What HiPP does leave out is the allergy-suspected fragrances. If you want nothing scented at all, this is not the one to pick.
Is it soap?
No, it is soap-free. The cleansers are a sugar-derived and an amino-acid-derived surfactant, and the pH is adjusted to skin-neutral, which a true soap cannot be.
Does it contain nuts?
It contains sweet almond as Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Extract. If there is a nut allergy in the family, read the panel on your bottle and ask your doctor before using it.
What is the refill for?
It refills the 250 ml pump bottle that comes with it. Let the pump run empty, then pour the refill in, rather than topping up a part-full bottle.
Can the whole family use it?
Yes, it is a hand wash that happens to be mild enough for a baby, and HiPP presents it as hand washing for big and small. Adults with easily irritated hands tend to get on with it for the same reasons babies do.
Can I use it in the bath as a body wash?
It is made and sold for faces and hands, and that is what this page claims for it. For hair and body there are HiPP products built for the job, and they have their own panels.
Why is there a bitter-tasting ingredient in it?
Denatonium Benzoate on the panel is a bittering agent. It is there to make the foam unpleasant to drink, which matters on a bottle that lives next to a sink a child can reach.

Written from HiPP's own published product information for the Babysanft Waschschaum, together with the ingredient panel and claim block carried on this listing. The two panels agree entry for entry. The 250 ml pump plus 250 ml refill is stated by the site and is authoritative; HiPP's own page does not print a millilitre size for this product, and the 500 ml total and the 16.9 fl oz figure are arithmetic from the site's two pack sizes. The 0+ months age, soap-free, the creamy and particularly mild foam, pH skin-neutral, the medically tested eye compatibility, the recipe without microplastics, organic almond extract and the face-and-hands purpose are all HiPP's published claims. The no paraffin oil, no dyes, no PEG emulsifier, no paraben and no allergy-suspected fragrance statements are taken from the claim block on the pack as carried on this listing. No quantity per wash and no washing frequency is published, so none is stated, the steps are labeled as general practice, and no washes-per-bottle figure is given. A dermatological skin-compatibility claim is not made, because HiPP does not publish one for this product, and no skin condition is named. Last reviewed 24 October 2026.
