Keeping Baby Safe Easily

                        When you have the option of
                                  keeping baby safe 

​                                       Why Not?
                                                          

Somewhere in our history the smell of a baby became associated with commercial products.  The most famous of these is Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder which is currently losing legal battles for causing ovarian cancer, yet, the imprint of that smell remains associated with baby.


With a new baby coming into the family, I did a bit of research.  I used a site called Skin Deep by EWG.  They rate cosmetics and personal care products.  You can look up most ingredients and thousands of items are listed by product.  The scale they use is 1-10 with 5 being moderately harmful.   For me 5 is too much for a baby, or for me.  Why not go as low as possible and keep away from mineral oil, other petroleum products and hormone disruptors?  


In just researching shampoo products briefly here is what I found:


Burt’s Bees score of 3 and 4.  The company was sold to Clorox, so beware.

Aveeno is 3 and 4 for most baby products.

Nature’s Baby is 3.

Paul Mitchell for Baby is 4.

Yes to Baby Carrots is 4.

Johnson and Johnson No More Tears comes up a 5.  I also researched their Cotton Touch by ingredients and the first few are 4 and 5.

Desitin registers a 5, not because of the zinc oxide (which registers 2-3), but because of the added ingredients.


In general, if it is made by Corporate America…worry.  That mean all that is familiar, all that is common and all that have coupons are suspect of using inexpensive, toxic ingredients.


In just a few minutes, I made 3 products that are easy to make and safe.
There are endless recipes on line so you can tailor them to your likes.


Recipes:

Diaper Cream    
A combination of coconut oil and beeswax with essential oil.  You could 
also combine it with castor oil which is antibacterial like coconut oil, or shea butter if you want a moisturizer.

​

Baby Powder  
Combine organic arrowroot with lavender oil.   You can also use
 corn starch, but keep it GMO-free.

Shampoo/Wash    
1 cup water
            
1/4 cup Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap 
            
1 Tablespoon olive oil
            
​Add vitamin E and essential oil fragrance if you like.
