Common Infant Bath Products Found to Contain Carcinogens

A number of popular infant toiletries contain potential cancer-causing agents according to a new report from a non-profit advocacy group.

The Washington Post and a number of other news outlets reported the findings yesterday. According to the WP, "Some of the biggest names on the market, including Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo and Baby Magic lotion, tested positive for 1,4-dioxane or formaldehyde, or both, the nonprofit Campaign for Safe Cosmetics reported."

This report raises concerns, as we seek to safeguard our young ones against possibly dangerous chemicals--at any level.

  1. Organic bath products are all made from natural and organic ingredients and all free from ingredients such as petrochemicals, parabens and artificial fragrance.
