Organic Baby Product Swap
/There is nothing, and I mean nothing, sweeter than a new baby! Their smell, their skin, all the tiny sounds they make...aye, I just love em'! Every good parent wants the best for their baby, and wants to protect them from anything that may be damaging.
But, you may not know just how toxic some baby products can be. The labels can be deceiving... "natural", "soothing" "gentle." One look at the ingredient list, and that tells another story.
"Fragrance" is a huge one to look out for. One alarming fact is that frangrance contains phthalates, which are asthma-inducing.
"Oxybenzone" and "Octyl Methoxycinnamate" are highly allergenic and hormone-disruptive. Sunscreens are loaded with this crap.
Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing ingredients are found in tons of lotions, creams, and oils. And all of this geared towards our children.
Johnson & Johnson was ordered to pay $72 million as damages to a family who sued the corporation stating their mother’s death from cancer was directly related to her use of their talcum powder products. No surprise there. It's about time companies be held liable! Many say there is also a connection between ear infections, cradle cap and numerous side effects due to sulfates in formula.
