Toxins Found in Kid’s Bath Products

As we all know children’s bath products are supposed to be safe. That is the way they are marketed. Recently, I watched the news and come to find out to serious toxins are in some of the most popular children’s bath products:

• **Dioxane – probable carcinogen
• **Formaldehyde – probable carcinogen, can cause adverse skin reactions in those sensitive to the chemical

Imagine your child taking a bath and you use these products which in turn get into the water. The bath water will always get ingested to some degree. This the chemical is ingested.

Here is a more indepth article from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics http://www.ewg.org/report/toxic-tub/31209. They tested 48 products and 61% came back and tested postive for both Dioxane and Formaldehyde.

I have always worried about things like this and over a year ago I started using an all natural, organic body wash/shampoo for my children. If you are interested here is the product I have been using Top n’ Bottom shampoo and body wash.
