Natural Organic Baby Skin Care

Children do not have an adult's ability to detoxify and excrete toxins, they absorb proportionally higher doses of toxins per unit of body weight, which means that their organs may suffer permanent and irreversible damage more quickly because they are not fully developed. Many synthetic chemicals have been linked to developmental deficiencies and learning disabilities in children. The FDA website has a list of chemicals that are in some baby care products (some found in natural baby products!) that were found to cause cancer in laboratory animals.

Baby's skin is much thinner and more sensitive than adult skin. Use the least amount of products on your baby. For example, only use a mild shampoo skipping the conditioner. Be catious about using certain baby powders especially near the face where the powders can be inhaled. Some of these products contain talc. At BTrue Naturals we have found companies that provide good organic baby products that will meet your needs.

Baby care products have to contain at least 50 times fewer microbes than products for children over 3. These products must contain a sufficient amount of preservatives to maintain these low levels. Babies are at a much greater risk because they haven't developed a strong immune system. When choosing a product for your child, pick a product that has few ingredients. This will cut down on the chance that your child will have an adverse reaction to one of the ingredients.

These ingredients are a major source of irritants and adverse effects. Try to find a product that is fragrance free and color free. You want to avoid brightly colored products and highly perfumed toiletries.

***All ingredients are not intended for children under 3.***
