A Safe Beginning

Here are some helpful tips for parents who are considering Organic Baby Care Products.

Shopping at a “natural” store does not mean everyting is paraben and phthalate-free for your precious baby. Read labels, know how to interpret the ingredients and don’t let the wool be pulled over your eyes by the word “natural” on the label. If it says -paraben in any shape or form, it contains parabens!

Be suspicious of the term “fragrance”. Synthetic fragrances are a phthalate culprit so if you can, try to use products with organic or natural fragrances – or choose “unscented”. Unscented products can also contain phthalates (yup!)! EWG says,
