Cleans the days' dirt, food, paint and more without irritating kids’ skin. Having one pump bottle for body and hair makes the job quick and easy. Alaffia does not sting kids’ eyes and the formula is gentle, nourishing, and non-drying.
Shopping for personal care and beauty products while picking up groceries can be so convenient, that its tempting to just grab whatever you see. The personal care and beauty items in Whole Foods must meet certain requirements determined by Whole Foods. The requirements include a ban on over 100 ingredients like parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde donors, oxybenzone and EDTA. Additionally, organic claims must be backed up by a third-party certification. There are ingredients that are not Whole Foods banned list, but can still be harmful and should be avoided like fragrance, phenoxyethanol, and polysorbate 20.
When it comes to cleanliness, we associate a strong chemical smell with being clean, when in reality “clean” has no smell at all. Fragrance is one of the 5 common allergens found in cosmetics and can trigger asthma attacks, skin irritation and skin allergies, and allergic reactions. Fragranced products can cause adverse health effects including respiratory, neurological, cognitive, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, immune, and musculoskeletal problem to migraine headaches, mucosal symptoms, and asthma attacks. Despite these facts, companies are not required to disclose the fragrance ingredients in their products. Studies have revealed toxic ingredients in fragrance such phthalates, octoxynols and butylphenol methylpropianol. In addition, fragrances emit harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Parents are left to decipher long ingredient lists in kids toothpaste and decide if their children need fluoride or not. It’s important to know flouride, artificial dyes, artificial sweeteners, flavors, and other potentially toxic ingredients are found in most kids toothpastes on the shelves.
A lot of baby wipes smell fresh and seem gentle, but with continued use, irritation and diaper rashes occur. This could be due to irritating and/or toxic ingredients found in the wipes.
Under US law, kids' pajamas from 9 months to size 14 must be flame resistant or tight fitting, both subject to specific standards. Manufacturers treat fabrics with flame retardants or use synthetic fabric that is flame resistant. Flame resistant chemicals include halogenated hydrocarbons, inorganic flame retardants, and phosphate based compounds. These chemicals are dangerous and linked to nervous system damage, reproductive system damage, hormone disruption, and deficits in motor skills, attention, and IQ in children. 100% cotton snug-fitting pajamas are best for safety and comfort. The big yellow tags clearly state whether pajamas are snug fitting or chemically treated - so be sure to read those carefully.
