Schauma Kids Shampoo and Shower Gel, 250 ml, blueberry scent
Schauma Kids is a children's shampoo and body wash in one bottle, in a 250 ml pack, for children from 1 year. It is alcohol-free, built on a pH skin-neutral formula, scented with blueberry, and made to detangle hair so that combing afterwards is easier. The bottle body is 98 percent recycled plastic.
The case for a two-in-one at this age is simply the number of bottles in a bathroom. One product for hair and body means one thing to reach for while a child is already in the water, and for a child old enough to wash themselves with supervision, one bottle is one decision rather than two.
The cleansing side is built on mild surfactants rather than a harsh one. Cocamidopropyl betaine leads, followed by sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate and coco-glucoside, which are the gentler modern class of cleansers, and there is no SLS in the panel. Glycerin is the fourth ingredient, which is unusually high up for a wash and is what stops it stripping.
The detangling is not a marketing line either; it is an ingredient. Polyquaternium-10 is a conditioning polymer that deposits on the hair as you rinse and reduces the friction between strands, which is what makes a comb pass through afterwards instead of catching. Panthenol, pro-vitamin B5, sits alongside it, and Vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract, from bilberry, is the blueberry in the name.
The packaging is the other thing Schauma publishes about this bottle, and the figures are specific: the bottle body is 98 percent recycled plastic, the lid is 25 percent, and the packaging overall contains at least 70 percent recycled content. It is designed to be recycled again according to local rules.

Whose hair and skin this bottle is for
This is a children's product rather than a baby one, and the detangling is the clearest signal of who it is built for: a baby's fine hair does not knot, and a four- or six-year-old's does. If combing after a bath is the part of the evening everyone dreads, that is the problem this bottle is aimed at.
It also suits a child who has started washing their own hair. A two-in-one that is pH skin-neutral and alcohol-free is forgiving of the amount a child will use and of the thoroughness of the rinse, which is not true of every shampoo.
The minimum age for this bottle is 1 year. For a baby under a year, a product that names a from-birth age is the better choice.
If you need a wash for a baby rather than a child
Choose one that states a from-birth age. This bottle is for children from 1 year. HiPP Baby Gentle Care 2 in 1 Shampoo and Shower Gel, 200 ml is a two-in-one suitable from the first day of life, and is the comparable product here for a younger child.
How to use it at bath time
Read this before the first bath
For external use only, and for children from 1 year. Keep it away from the eyes and rinse thoroughly with water if any gets in: no no-sting or tear-free claim is published for this product, so do not assume one. Read the ingredient panel before first use, and stop using it if the skin reacts.
Schauma's own instruction is three lines: distribute it gently through damp hair, leave it to act briefly, and rinse thoroughly. No quantity, water temperature or washing frequency is published, so none is stated here.
Damp hairNot dry, not soaking
Leave brieflyThen rinse
Rinse wellThoroughly, Schauma's word
Hair and bodyOne bottle for both
1
Wet the hair first
Schauma says damp hair, and that is the right starting point: a wash distributed through dry hair needs far more product to spread and far more rinsing to remove.
2
Distribute it gently
Work it through with your fingers rather than scrubbing at the scalp. The point of a mild surfactant system is that it does not need vigorous rubbing to clean.
3
Leave it to act briefly
A short pause is what the conditioning polymer needs to settle onto the hair. Schauma does not publish a time, so brief means brief rather than a measured minute.
4
Use the same bottle for the body
It is a shampoo and shower gel in one, so the body goes with the same product. Working top down means the rinse carries everything away in one go.
5
Rinse thoroughly, and keep it from the eyes
Rinse until the hair feels clean rather than slippery. Tilting the head back keeps the water off the face, which matters because no no-sting claim is made for this product.
6
Comb while the hair is still damp
The detangling is doing its work now rather than later. A wide-toothed comb through damp hair, starting at the ends and working up, is where the Polyquaternium-10 earns its place.

What the main ingredients are doing
Twenty-one entries. A cosmetic panel runs in order of quantity, so the three cleansers and the glycerin at the top are what the bottle mostly is, and everything from the panthenol down is there in small amounts doing one job each.
| Ingredient, as printed | In plain terms | What it is there for |
|---|---|---|
| Aqua | Water | The base of the wash |
| Cocamidopropyl Betaine | A mild coconut-derived cleanser | The main cleansing agent and the foam |
| Glycerin | Glycerol | Holds moisture, and offsets the cleansers |
| Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate | A gentle modern surfactant | Cleans without the harshness of an SLS |
| Coco-Glucoside | A sugar-based cleanser | A third mild surfactant, improves the lather |
| Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract | Bilberry fruit extract | The blueberry element of the product |
| Panthenol | Pro-vitamin B5 | Conditions the hair and holds water |
| Polyquaternium-10 | A conditioning polymer | The detangling: less friction between strands |
| Citric Acid | A pH adjuster | What sets the skin-neutral pH |
| Lauric Acid, Zinc Laurate, Sodium Laurate | Fatty acid salts | Give the wash its opaque, creamy look |
| Denatonium Benzoate | A bittering agent | Makes the wash taste bitter, to discourage drinking it |
| Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Sorbic Acid | Preservatives | Keep the bottle from spoiling in a wet bathroom |
| Parfum | Fragrance | The blueberry scent |
The table above groups and translates the main ingredients and is not the full panel, which is given in full below. It is not in the order of the panel. The panel printed on the bottle you receive is the one that governs, and cosmetic formulations are revised from time to time.
The full ingredient panel, and what is left out
Lightly fragranced, and deliberately bitter to taste
This wash contains Parfum, so it is not a fragrance-free product. It also contains denatonium benzoate, which is a bittering agent included on purpose: a sweet-smelling bottle in a bathroom is a thing a small child will try to drink, and a bitter taste is the usual deterrent. It is not a cleansing or conditioning ingredient.
No allergen declaration accompanies a cosmetic the way it does a food, so the panel below is a read-the-label note rather than a declaration. No gluten-free, vegan or organic claim is made for this product.

What you get, and the recycled content figures
The bottle is 250 ml. No quantity per wash is published for this product, so no number of washes per bottle is claimed here and none should be inferred from the size. The packaging figures, by contrast, are published and specific.
| Figure | This product | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Bottle size | 250 ml | Taken from the product itself |
| Minimum age | 1 year | Taken from the product itself |
| Bottle body, recycled plastic | 98% | The manufacturer's own figure |
| Lid, recycled plastic | 25% | The manufacturer's own figure |
| Packaging, recycled content | At least 70% | Across the packaging as a whole |
| Washes per bottle | Not claimed | No quantity per wash is published |
The bottle is also designed to be recycled again, according to local collection rules, which differ enough from place to place that the manufacturer points you at yours rather than stating a single answer.
Recycled content percentages are the manufacturer's own for this pack. Store the bottle closed, away from direct heat and sunlight, and follow the date printed on it.

Frequently asked questions
From what age can I use it?
From 1 year. For a baby under a year, choose a wash that names a from-birth age instead.
Can I really use it on both hair and body?
Yes, that is what it is sold as: a shampoo and shower gel in one bottle. The same mild cleansers do both jobs.
Will it sting my child's eyes?
No no-sting or tear-free claim is published for this product, so we make none. Keep it away from the eyes and rinse thoroughly with water if any gets in.
How does the detangling work?
Polyquaternium-10, a conditioning polymer, deposits on the hair during the rinse and reduces the friction between strands, so a comb passes through instead of catching. Panthenol helps as well.
Why does it taste bitter?
Deliberately. Denatonium benzoate is a bittering agent in the panel, included to discourage a small child from drinking a sweet-smelling bottle in the bathroom.
Is it fragrance-free?
No. Parfum is in the panel, and the blueberry scent is one of the things the product is sold on. If you need fragrance-free, this is not the bottle.
Does it contain SLS?
Not in the published panel. The cleansers are cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate and coco-glucoside, which are the milder class. The product is also stated to be alcohol-free.
How much should I use, and how often?
No quantity and no washing frequency is published for this product, so none is stated here. The instruction given is to distribute it through damp hair, leave it to act briefly and rinse thoroughly.

Written from the ingredient panel printed on this bottle and the manufacturer's own published statements for Schauma Kids Shampoo and Shower Gel, 250 ml: the alcohol-free and pH skin-neutral formulation, the blueberry scent, the detangling claim, the application instruction and the recycled content percentages for the bottle body, the lid and the packaging. The 250 ml pack size and the minimum age of 1 year are taken from the product itself; the manufacturer's label gives only the word children, and an age tag is not a source for an age. No quantity per wash, washing frequency or washes-per-bottle figure is given, because none is published, and no no-sting or tear-free claim is made, because none is published for this product.
