By | | Add a Comment

Parents should pay attention to any chemicals that are included in a child’s personal care products, such as lotion or body wash.

The Environmental Working Group suggests that parents:

  • Always read ingredient labels, and don’t blindly trust marketing claims.
  • Choose products that don’t contain fragrance.
  • Avoid use of baby powder.
  • Avoid products that contain the chemicals: 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3 Diol; BHAl; sodium borate; DMDM Hydantoin; oxybenzone; triclosan.
