Fragrance can enhance the bond between parent and baby.

The Power of Our Gentle Scents

Smell, memory and emotion are intimately connected. Decades of research have shown that multi-sensory experiences are a key part of happy, healthy baby development.

However, it’s also important to us that parents feel confident in what they choose to put on their babies’ skin. That’s why we’re disclosing 100% of our fragrance ingredients above 100ppm in our shampoos, washes and lotions.

In many countries, regulators will allow ingredients to be listed simply as “fragrance” on product labels - but we went a step further.

Our fragrances are free of known fragrance allergens.

Johnson’s® standards are among the highest in the industry for fragrance ingredients.

Studies have shown babies bathed with a scented bath product showed 30% more engagement cues with their parents following a bath than babies bathed with unscented products.

The Artistry of Fragrance

We collaborated with the world’s premier fragrance houses to create our new gentle scents and made sure they met our strict purity standards.

Parents were blown away by the new scents we created. 9/10 parents who tested our new baby lotion fragrance liked it.

Key Johnson’s® Fragrances

Fruity/Floral

Our baby shampoo scent contains floral and fruity notes to provide a sparkling, joyful and fresh experience for both you and your baby during bath time.

It contains beautiful floral notes of jasmine, rose and violet that blend together with fruity notes of red berries, grapefruit and pineapple. Powdery and musky notes provide the final touches.

Floral/Powdery

A delicate balance of soft powdery notes, florals and subtle sparkling fresh green and citrus top notes. The heart of the fragrance is built around a trio of Rose, Jasmine and Creamy Iris. The floral notes also work to compliment the oriental, powdery and classic musky notes that round out our baby lotion fragrance.

Fruity/Green

Our baby bath fragrance is centered around fresh fruity notes of green apple, apricot and sparkling orange. It is a timeless scent with a delicate and creamy floral heart of rose, geranium and lily of the valley with notes of strawberry fizz in the background.

Floral/Powdery

Our Bedtime® lotion fragrance blends a trio of florals: lily of the valley, jasmine blossom and pink rose petals, which are woven by watery ivy and juicy apricot. Fresh top notes rest on a calming and comforting blanket of precious amber, soft musks and an exclusive warm milk note. This combination provides that distinctive calming and soothing baby identity.
