In-Depth Review
One Tiny Tablet = A Full Bottle of Gentle Baby Wash – No Plastic Waste
Tidu is shaking up the baby bath aisle with a simple idea: ship only the concentrated soap, not the water. Each tablet (the size of a coin) dissolves in tap water inside the reusable glass pump bottle to create 250ml of ultra-gentle baby shampoo & body wash. The formula is plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free, using organic calendula and chamomile for sensitive skin.
- **Refill system** – buy one glass bottle, then only refill tablets
- **Concentrated tablets** – 1 tablet + water = 250ml of wash
- **Plastic-free shipping** – tablets arrive in a paper sachet
- **Vegan & Cruelty-Free** – no animal testing or ingredients
- **Climate Neutral** – brand offsets all emissions
- **FSC packaging** – everything is recyclable or compostable
