Baby Skin Care – Dangerous - an Exaggeration Right?

Naturally Safe Baby Products -  demands are on the increase.  Many parents are turning to organic products to Naturally Care for Babies Skin.  Is this a consumer trend or is this a decision based on something more important?

The commonsense approach to minimize contact with potentially harmful chemicals makes good commonsense.  Health conscious parents are choosing to reduce unnecessary chemical exposure for their children where-ever possible.

The largest organ of the human body is actually the skin.  It is no surprise that one of the biggest concerns many new parents experience is how to protect their babies’ very new, soft & delicate skin. 

Do you think they are prepared to cope with potentially toxic chemicals unnecessarily?  

Non-Toxic Baby Care V’s Non-Natural

The benefit of knowledge is that it can prevent you falling victim to some brilliant marketing techniques.  The word “Natural” is a great way to effect our emotions.  Doesn’t that provide us with feelings of security & confidence? 

The term Natural indicates that it contains a natural substance - the product normally will still contain non-natural ingredients. It is the word “Natural” that is designed to be the focal point. 

Green Baby Body Care or Potential Poison

The chemical Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a surfactant useful in the removal of oil. Various health reports have raised concerns regarding its safety.

Although various ingredients may not be considered life threatening, it makes good sense to reduce the level of exposure when possible.  Especially when considering that safe alternative products are readily attainable. 

Propylene Glycol – You may have come across this product previously.  It has a great many uses.  Commonly used as an anti-freeze for boats, aircraft & vehicles.  

It is a necessary ingredient in solvent acrylics, stains, dyes & brake fluid.  Is it sounding like something you would choose to apply to a baby’s fragile & delicate skin!

Please draw comfort from the documented fact that it is considered to be “Generally Recognized as Safe” may be used as a food additive, cosmetics & skin care products.

That is “generally reassuring” in a rather “general” sort of way.  So cast away any real or imagined fear because you can really feel “generally safe” while using it! 

• It is a skin irritant & can affect the liver and kidneys.
• Avoid contact with the skin.
• Minor eye irritation. 

Obviously that is referring to high concentrations of this chemical.  But many thinking individuals have drawn the conclusion that naturally safe alternative ingredients are available, why add anything that has been considered as potentially hazardous.

Mineral Oil – it may even create the concept that it is healthy & natural.  This ingredient is used in many baby skin care goods.  But think again!   

Does it provide you the same confidence when considering lotions that are applied to a new baby’s skin?

Concerns have been raised regarding the potential for interference with the respiratory system, why risk it.  You may be aware that hydrocarbons have been considered as carcinogenic (increasing the risk of certain cancers).

Natural Baby Care for Newborn - You Decide

Such controversial ingredients may appear to make good business sense when profit is the prime focus.  Relatively inexpensive & an available resource.  It offers the potential to generate a high cash flow.  The fact that profit is involved, does not exactly build much confidence in the safety aspect of the product.
