With all the notices out there about certain ingredients being bad for your health, bad for your kids health, how are parents supposed to keep up with it all? The Environmental Working Group has given us a tool - just out today. Go here and print their 1 page PDF “Safety Guide to Children’s Personal Care Products.” (Or you can click the image to the left to open it and print - but we don’t want to take credit for it.) Thanks to the EWG’s campaign for cosmetic safety for developing this, and the wealth of information at their Skin Deep site.
The PDF lists ingredients to always avoid, and why. It also lists ingredients to be cautious of, and why. And it has a list of product types (toothpastes, diaper rash cremes, etc.) with recommendations for each. I’ll be printing one to keep in my car - it’s always good to have that information handy when you’re walking into the store to buy something to use on your precious kiddos.
