Splash Makes Fun Shampoo, Body Wash, Lotion for Kids Four to 10

— February 6, 2026 — Fashion
Tree Hut parent company Naterra is launching a new brand for Gen Alpha, Splash, and it's debuting in Walmart with products priced under $10 and a signature gummy bear scent. Targeting kids between the ages of four and 10, Splash introduces fun-filled products for the bathroom, like a 2-in-1 Shampoo and Body Wash, a body lotion, and an aloe-infused bubble bath formula with a bubble wand.

“We recognized a gap in kids’ personal care for those who don’t want to use baby products, but at the same time, whose parents don’t want to get them into the more mature routines yet,” said Luis Garcia, chief marketing officer of Naterra.

Splash's very first products are novel and sensory-rich, promising to transform bathtime routines into playful self-care rituals.
