No More Toxic Tub

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has an important new initiative, “No More Toxic Tub.” 

Here’s what the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has to say:

Despite marketing claims like “gentle” and “pure,” dozens of top-selling children’s bath products are contaminated with the cancer-causing chemicals formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, according to the March 2009 Campaign for Safe Cosmetics report, “No More Toxic Tub.”

 

This study is the first to document the widespread presence of both formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane  in bath products for children, including baby shampoos, bubble baths and baby lotions. Many products tested contained both chemicals.

I encourage you to read the full report here. Also, email this on or print out the report and give it to all the mothers that you know.

This information is SO important. These chemicals can harm children and action needs to be taken. You can get involved by sending a message to your legislators (see bottom of page).

Also, as discussed in an earlier post, the Cosmetic Safety Database is an awesome tool to find safer cosmetic products.

Create a beautiful weekend,
