Our children deserve better products!
Just for kids
Extra caution is in order for kids because they receive greater exposures by weight than adults to contaminants in air, water, food, and everyday products. In addition, their immature metabolism and organ systems are typically less capable of fending off chemical assaults. Subtle damage to developing bodies that does not trigger immediate health effects may lead to disease later in life.
Follow these top 6 tips for kids:
- Use fewer products and use them less often.
- Don’t trust the claims. Check ingredients.
- Buy fragrance-free products.
- Avoid the use of baby powder on newborns and infants.
- Do your homework at EWG’s Cosmetics Database
- Always avoid EWG’s top 7 chemicals of concern for kids:
- 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3 Diol
- BHA
- Boric acid and sodium borate
- Dibutyl phthalate & toluene
- DMDM Hydantoin
