The one industry that should be 100% free from toxins is the baby product industry. At no other time in our lives are we more susceptible to the damaging effects of toxins than as children. The EPA has deteremined that infants up to age 2 are 10 times more vunerable to carcinogens and developmental toxins. They have also determined that children accumulate up to 50% of their lifetime cancer risk by their second birthdays. Yet the baby product industry is wrought with toxic chemcials we do not want anywhere near our children. Baby bath products have been shown to contain dangerous levels of formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane (a carcinogen banned in most other countries.) Baby wipes contain a substance known as Bronopol. This chemical is known to be toxic to the human immune system, lungs, and skin. Even at low doses, it has effects on the brain and nervous system, gastrointestinal effects, and broad systemic effects. In addition to these dangerous toxins, traditional baby products also contain parabens and phthalates- discussed in detail in the information pages of our website.
As more and more parents have become aware of the dangers listed above, a new choice in baby products emerged. There are quite a few all natural baby product lines available today. However, these products still contain toxins. Even ingredients that have been derived from all natural substances can be chocked full of toxins. So, parents believe they are making a safe choice, when indeed, their baby is still being subjected to dangerous, health impacting, toxins.
