Dangerous Chemicals in Common Baby Care Products

January 31, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Here is some rather startling information put fourth recently by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics report, “No More Toxic Tubs”.

The CSC commissioned an independent laboratory to analyze the contents of 48 products marketing for use by babies for the two cancer-causing chemicals formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane.  The real concern is not neccessarily that one product may contain small amounts of these dangerous chemicals but that many of them would and the small amounts would add up and potentially lead to illness.  Both of these chemicals are known carcinogens and are associated with a number of health problems.  Many countries have laws restricting the use of these chemicals in care products, the United States is not one of those countries.  Formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane are not intenionally added to products.  Formaldahyde is a by-product of many commonly used preservatives.  1,4-dioxane is a by-product of chemical processing and can be removed from the product but manufacturers are not required to do so under current law.  Common ingredients likely to be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane include PEG-100 stearate, sodium laureth sulfate, polyethylene and ceteareth-20.

Mom’s Skincare Introduces a High Antioxidant and Vitamin Rich Baby Lotion

October 25, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Baby skin care is extremely important because it is so sensitive. There are many things you should take into consideration when you are thinking about baby skin care.

It is very important that you consider the sun exposure when you are considering baby skin care because a baby’s skin is extremely sensitive. A baby’s skin can burn quickly and sunburn is very painful for your baby. You need to use sunscreen specifically designed for your baby’s skin to ensure that he or she won’t get burned.

When you wash your baby with soaps, shampoos, and bubble baths, you should use only the most gentle baby skin care products as possible. Soaps can be harsh on a baby’s skin and cause it to rash or even become dry and chapped. Dry and chapped skin on a baby can quickly crack and bleed and it is very painful for the baby and there isn’t much that will soothe your baby at this point but time.

Mom’s Skincare light baby moisture lotion is made from the purest natural oils and vitamin rich plant extracts to protect and nurture skin.

Ingredients are as follows:

Unconditional Love, Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Stearic Acid, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Cabbage Rose Water, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Allantoin, Beeswax, Xanthan Gum, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Oil, Carbomer, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate.
