How Safe Is Your Baby's Bubble Bath?

The disturbing additions in childhood illnesses in America can't be ignored! One factor is that children are being affected by their exposure to chemicals in many skincare products on the market. If you read the ingredients, you'll find many baby bubble bath products contain potentially harmful ingredients.

From head to toe, the skin is our body's largest organ and it is extremely sensitive to whatever it comes contact with. Whatever touches the skin is absorbed to some degree directly into our body. This example dramatically illustrates that what we put on our body inevitably ends up in our body!

What factors increase toxicity you said it, can parents protect children from harm? Our children's skin is delicate and sensitive. One ingredient to avoid in skincare products is DEA or diethanolamine. DEA is currently being used in hundreds of home and personal care products including bubble baths, soaps, cosmetics, lotions, shampoos, conditioners and dishwashing and laundry detergents.

DEA belongs to a class of chemicals called alkanolamines and has been linked with kidney, liver, and other organ damage according to several government-funded research studies. DEA has been proven to cause cancer in rats when applied to the skin. Research has found that DEA has low acute toxicity but significant cumulative toxicity. It cannot be easily excreted from the body but instead builds up in the fatty tissues of the liver, brain, kidneys, and spleen with repeated dermal exposure.

What Parents Can Do DEA is but one of many ingredients used in personal skincare products suspected of causing or contributing to cancer. ONLY purchase baby skin care products for your babies, children, as well as yourself that are "chemical free." Take self-responsibility! Be an active, aware and educated consumer that shops for products with SAFE ingredients in personal skincare products.
