Many baby bottles, shampoos, and washes contain toxins!
"We Want our babies to bathe in healthy non-toxic ingredients not yucky chemicals!"
If you have a baby it is important to research what your baby's bottles are made from because many baby bottles still contain the chemical BPA Bisphenol A - a chemical which may be linked to heart disease and diabetes in humans as well as hormonal disruptions! We have had great success using Even-Flo's glass baby bottles which are made of a strong high-quality glass.
They have been through many falls and endured countless boiling routines without experiencing any chips or brakes! Avoid BPA whenever possible! Most likely the hard clear plastics in your home may contain BPA, Here is a list of common items found in a home which could be sources of toxic BPA.
- Children's toys etc..
- Plastic Liners for tin Cans
- Teething toys
- Eye Glasses
- Microwave ovenware and utensils
- Plastic containers that contain the #3, #6, & #7 recycling Symbol.

| "Every baby deserves a non-toxic bottle to drink!" |
Types of plastics that may contain BPA:
- Polycarbonate
- Lexan
- PolySulfone
These plastics release the most BPA especially when heated, so it is important to keep those plastic bottles out of the microwave! Also avoid reusing Plastic water bottles because there has been research that help discover that the enzymes in our own saliva can actually start to break down the chemicals in the plastic. Stay away from baby products with harmful unnecessary chemical additives. The latest news is that all our most popular brand named baby products have been revealed as containing many toxic carcinogenic ingredients. For example a Tear-Free baby shampoo is actually tear-free because they add a chemical that numbs the baby's eyes! It doesn't mean that it is safer and "more gentle" at all! it just contains chemicals that are actually more toxic. So try to find baby and all family personal care products with LESS INGREDIENTS! Because in this case "Less is definitely more!" Also try to stay away from harsh Laundry detergents.The clothes that we wash with detergents are lying directly on our baby's skin and they say that our skin is our largest organ in the body that absorbs everything. So we should be washing children's clothing and bedding with natural non-toxic detergents.If you are concerned about the products that you and your family are using you can check the products safety status and hazard level on this informative website www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/ The Environmental Working Group's searchable database of toxic ingredients in cosmetic and personal care products. It is a wonderfully helpful tool which you can use to look up almost any product by company or brand. We want to know what we put in our mouths to eat so we should also want to know what materials our foods are served in and what chemicals are in the soaps we bathe with...because "It is always better to be informed!"
