I’m glad to know about the Burt’s Bees; I already look for the unscented versions of just about everything commercial that I buy, but the list you posted on Broomhuggers is appallingly short!

But that’s not the only place your baby is likely to be exposed. Anything that contains artificial fragrance is likely to use phthalates - baby wipes, diaper creams, toothpastes, baby washes, laundry products, etc. When shopping for these products, look for the fragrance-free versions, as they’re less likely to contain phthalates.
