I usually bath my 1.5 years baby girl by adding 4-5 drops dettol in water, is it good for my daughter's skin? I feel like she is getting little darker after bath in dettol water.

Though Dettol is not going to cause any darkening of skin Sir, I would advise to bath your daughter with plain water and soap. There is no role of Dettol in infection prevention if used for bathing.

No need to add dettol. It will not offer any advantage.
