What prompted my initial search was the importance of discovering safe, natural, and effective products for my un-born first child. Secondly, once my child was born, I was motivated to research natural baby products to create a list of resources to pass on to more traditional, phthalate plastic crazed and synthetic minded family members. On the subject of natural baby products, particularly, skin/body care, I discovered some interesting facts. Washing babies skin with soaps or detergents can cause the loss of acid mantle. Repetitive washing alters the stratum cornea and barrier functions, including skin pH. There are many diseases that cause an increase in skin surface pH if not utilizing natural baby products. • Eczema Can you imagine if the general population knew how to "cure" the common eczema? If we all knew about and trusted natural baby product choices, a lot of baby/childhood ailments coulded. When purchasing natural baby products, how about considering the following choices or alternatives to assist you on your natural way. Furniture- non-toxic wood stains such soy based, beeswax, etc. Body/skin care- food grade, herbs, and botanical based products. Bedding- organic bedding and or bamboo. Cloth Diapers- organic cotton or most cloth choices over the alternative (one pamper takes 300 years to biodegrade). Toys- wooden, non-toxic paints and materials, phthalate free plastic. |
