Well, not exactly.
They're made for babies. That part is correct.
But safe...
Did you know that when the Environmental Working Group did their survey of 7500 personal care products in 2004, they found ingredients in baby products that
- may be linked to cancer
- are known to disrupt the endocrine system
- are skin sensitizers
- may be toxic to the immune system
- may cause reproductive harm
- are classified as penetration enhancers (they cause the body to absorb more of the product into the bloodstream)
- are highly toxic
So, just because a product label says it's safe and gentle doesn't meant that it's so.
So how do you find out for sure?
You read the list of ingredients, in the tiny print on the back of the label, that's so small that you frequently need a magnifying glass to see it.
If you're a chemist, you'll have no problem understanding what all that "Greek" means. If you're not, you can get Dying To Look Good to help you interpret what each ingredient is and whether it's safe or not.
