I became a wife and a mom at the age of 23. I had no experience with babies and was scared to death, yet excited at the same time. I took parenting and nutrition classes. I quit smoking and drinking diet soda (two of my biggest vices) and did my best to practice good nutrition while I breastfed. I was a new, young mom and I tried to do everything right for my little girl.
I am now 34 and the mom of 3 daughters. I did everything the same with all 3 and they are now 11, 9 and 5. After moving to a new community, I became friends with someone in the wellness industry and after conversations with her, did some of my own research. In all the years that I felt I was doing everything I could to ensure my daughter's health and well-being, I was unknowingly and slowly poisoning them!
Every time I bathed my children as babies I used Johnson & Johnson's products. They were a tried and trusted brand, so that was all I ever used. After further investigation, I was shocked at what I found.
Almost all of the most popular baby products that can be purchased in the grocery store (including Johnson & Johnson's) have been tested and have been found to contain cancer causing ingredients such as formaldehyde and 1,4 dioxane. A babies skin is 10 times more absorbent then an adults and we are using these products on our children multiple times a day. We believe we are using the best possible products on them but we are being deceived.
These cancer causing ingredients, for the most part, aren't even listed on the packaging because they are by-products of the manufacturing and not actual "ingredients". Laws state that only "ingredients" need to be listed, not the by-products of manufacturing.
I have found there are safer, non-toxic and chemical free products that cost less than the grocery store brands. I have made the choice to remove all the poisons from my home, not only baby and children's products, but also all cleaning and personal care products. There is no reason to continue exposing children to these harmful chemicals when there are safer, natural alternatives that will be easier on the household budget.
I am committed to showing families how they too can remove these poisons from their home and live a cleaner, healthier and greener life.
Please take a look at the video below for more information on common baby products and the tests that revealed the toxic reality of using them!
