This document discusses 3 toxic chemicals that should be avoided in baby products: 1. Fragrance, which is linked to allergies, skin irritation, and eczema and can mask other dangerous chemicals. 2. Phthalates and parabens, which are preservatives linked to reproductive problems, developmental disorders, and cancer. Products containing phthalate, DEP, DBP, DEHP, or ingredients ending in “-paraben” should be avoided. 3. Vitamin A and oxybenzone. Vitamin A is generally safe but can speed skin tumor development when exposed to sun. Oxybenzone is an endocrine disruptor linked to endometriosis and reproductive problems

1. 3 TOXIC CHEMICALS IN BABY
PRODUCTS YOU NEED TO LOOK
FOR
Baby products may be labeled "safe," "natural," or
"gentle" — but some are anything but. Some are
actually filled with toxic chemicals that can be
dangerous to your baby.

2. 1. Fragrance
Fragrance is linked to allergies, skin irritation and eczema and
can be toxic to various organs in the body. Plus, the term itself
can be used to mask hundreds of other dangerous chemicals
in the product. When reading labels, avoid any product that
lists fragrance, perfume or parfum.

3. 2. Phthalates and parabens
Phthalates and parabens are a group of chemicals that are used as
preservatives in personal care products like baby shampoos and
lotions. Phthalates have been linked to endocrine disruption, which can
cause reproductive problems, including a decrease in sperm motility
and concentration, as well as allergies, asthma and cancer. Research
shows that another class of chemicals, parabens, are endocrine
disruptors and have been linked to reproductive problems,
developmental disorders, endometriosis, skin irritation and cancer.
Avoid products that contain phthalate, DEP, DBP, DEHP and
ingredients ending in “–paraben.”

4. Another dangerous chemical that’s used in
sunscreen and should be avoided is oxybenzone,
which is an endocrine disruptor and has been linked
to endometriosis and reproductive problems. The
good news?

5. 3. Vitamin A and oxybenzone
On it’s own vitamin A is safe, but when it’s used in sunscreen and skin
is exposed to the sun, it can be problematic. In fact, studies suggest
that retinyl palmitate, a form of vitamin A, may speed up the
development of skin tumors and lesions. When reading labels, avoid
products that contain vitamin A, retinyl palmitate, retinol, retinyl acetate,
retinyl linoleate and retinoic acid. Another dangerous chemical that’s
used in sunscreen and should be avoided is oxybenzone, which is an
endocrine disruptor and has been linked to endometriosis and
reproductive problems.
