Protect babies from toxic chemicals
media attention on the latest chemical products Baby has caused great concern and alarm. The report of the tub, or toxic by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to call attention to the harmful chemicals in our products and skin care, informs us that many baby products that we know, love and have used for years to contain cancer-causing (carcinogenic) chemicals, including 1,4-dioxane and formaldehyde. In addition to these harmful chemicals, parents have to worry about the presence of phthalates and parabens in personal care products and baby. These chemicals are not regulated by the federal government here in the United States, but have been banned in other countries. 1,4-dioxane has been banned in Europe and the formaldehyde is banned in Japan and Sweden. United States Europe have banned three phthalates (DEHP, DBP and BBP) in toys for children.
1,4-dioxane is not a product has been intentionally added, but is considered more of a pollutant and therefore not need to be registered in the product labels. This chemical is used as foaming agent in many products we use today, such as shampoos, liquid soaps, deodorants, detergents, toothpaste and more. 1,4-Dioxane is easily absorbed into the bloodstream that can potentially damage the central nervous system, liver, kidneys and can even cause death.
exposure to formaldehyde produced each day in the air we breathe and some of the foods we eat. Formaldehyde is a gas that can cause throat, nose, skin and eye irritation. The Exposure can cause coughing, wheezing, watery eyes, itching and skin irritation. Formaldehyde exposure has been linked to allergies and asthma in children.

Phthalates have been linked to hormonal changes birth defects, birth defects in male babies (low sperm count ie, testicular cancer, malformations of the penis) and damage to the liver, kidneys and lungs.
