Don’t wash your baby in that!

I’ve been telling people for years about the formaldehyde in baby shampoos. It’d hidden under a different name, of course, or you’d never buy that product and put it on your baby, right? It’s called Quaternium-15. It’s a legal, allowable amount of formaldehyde – just like every product that you are using -- shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, etc – many have that allowable amount. But, think about it – by the time you shower, shave, wash your hair, then brush your teeth, you’ve absorbed well over the allowable amount for your body, since each product can have that much. You then have to put on makeup, right, so that adds more chemicals before you even get out to start your day.

This story on chemicals in baby shampoos is on the front page of FoxNews.com this morning. It’s about the chemical phthalates in baby shampoo.

More on Yahoo, too -- a good read:

Phthalates don't have to be labeled on products. The only way to know for sure is to know and trust the company makig your products. I know that I do.
