No More Toxic Tub

To start off this blog, I thought I'd use an article that really speaks to my heart.

My son is 2 yrs old and I never knew about the formulas used in American cosmetics. I am now researching the products that I use more than ever.

Here is a quick summary of this paper:

"Children’s bath products are often marketed as safe and gentle. However, laboratory tests commissioned by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics found these products are commonly contaminated with formaldehyde or 1,4-dioxane – and, in many cases, both. These two chemicals, linked to cancer and skin allergies, are anything but safe and gentle and are completely unregulated in children’s bath products."
