Certified Organic Ways to clean your Baby

When we become parents we only want the best for our child. When I became pregnant and had my daughter, mum and baby13 years ago, I became really worried and guilty for having to put chemicals on her skin. I searched and searched, but was disappointed each time.

And no doubt, a lot of you mums out there started reading labels on the back of food packets and shampoo bottles the minute you got your extra little bundle. Today one is almost tripping over all the organic and natural products available. BUT don't forget to be your own ingredient detective because organic and natural are not always what it seems.

On this page you will only find certified organic products safe to use on the little valuable things in your life.

Virtually all of the wonderful people who buy ONEgroup organic products have some involvement with little people. So this page is full to the brim with handy hints for making the world a better place for the next generation.

Organics give babies the best start. Begin with baby as you intend to go on – by using only the purest organic products such as those from the miessence® certified organic Mother & Baby Range which is FREE from chemicals and synthetics.

miessence® Baby Cream Wash, Lotion and Baby Powder are pure and delicate enough to be used confidently on newborns.

Similarly, Organic Baby Bottom Cleansing Gel, Bottom Mist and Barrier Balm work together to gently clean and soothe the nappy area to keep it ..well.. ‘smooth as a baby’s bottom’.

babies mainlining chemicals in uterus

Mothers passbaby toxic chemicals to their babies through their umbilical cords, according to a groundbreaking study. The recent study commissioned by Washington-based Environmental Working Group found an average 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants (body load) in umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in U.S. hospitals.

Exposure to chemicals is a huge concern with infants. Because the blood-brain barrier - the body’s defence that keeps contaminants from reaching the central nervous system - is not yet developed, babies can suffer more neurological harm.
And of course, female babies are born with the eggs that could become their own babies, meaning later generations will also be exposed.

Making your home environment as clean and green as you can is a great way to help reverse this damaging trend.

Parents Take Baby Personal Care Manufacturers to Court

Johnson & Johnson, Proctor & Gamble and Kimberley Clark
are among a number of leading baby personal care manufacturers being taken to court over allegedly cancer-causing ingredients.

The class-action law suit was filed by Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro (HBSS) on March 19 in the District Court of Chicago on behalf of ‘parents or other consumers who purchased any of an extensive list of products’, on the provision the court certifies the action.

The action is being filed as a result of a study conducted by the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics (CSC), which tested a series of baby personal care products for the carcinogens formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane.

According to the study 82 percent of products contained at least 54 parts per million of formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane – a level the body describes as ‘high’.

“Parents are frightened by these findings, and rightly so," said Steve Berman, attorney representing the plaintiffs and managing partner of Seattle-based HBSS.

"I can't imagine any parent covering their infant with a baby lotion that lists formaldehyde on the label along with 'natural fragrance.'"

However, key figures in the industry believe that the study findings are misleading and have been misinterpreted.

Two weeks ago the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) described the study findings and the resulting publicity as a cynical attempt to prey upon concerned parents.

It argues that CSC has falsely attempted to position the report as ‘scientifically noteworthy’ and new.

It counters the study findings by pointing out that 1,4-dioxane is not an ingredient in cosmetics products but a by-product created from the manufacture of certain detergent and solvent ingredients.

PCPC also quoted the FDA as stating that 1,4-dioxane levels found in their monitoring of personal care products and cosmetics ‘do not present a hazard to consumers.’

On the subject of formaldehyde, the PCPC says it is not added to cosmetics but rather released in very small doses by the formaldehyde-releasing preservatives that are used.

On top of that, the US FDA and the Cosmetic Ingredients Review Expert Panel concluded that formaldehyde in cosmetics and personal care products is safe and should not exceed 2,000ppm when measured as free formaldehyde, which matches the European legislation on the chemical.

CSC’s test of 28 products, which were chosen to be likely candidates for containing the chemical, showed 23 to contain between 54 and 610 ppm of formaldehyde.

The HBSS suit calls for medical monitoring of children and any one exposed to the products in question in an effort to ascertain the risks of exposures to the mentioned carcinogens.

Baby and the outdoors

Does your child's sunscreen actually work when they are outdoors?

The Environmental Working Group’s investigation of nearly 1,000 brand-name sunscreen products finds that 4 out of 5 don’t provide protection and/or contain chemicals that may pose health hazards. Some of the worst offenders are leading brands like Coppertone, Banana Boat and Neutrogena.

Many millions of cases of skin cancer are diagnosed worldwide each year. Yet due to huge legislative gaps, companies in many countries are free to claim - but not provide - broad spectrum protection.

Stay safe and keep your children safe by switching to the risk-free, organic alternative: Reflect Outdoor Balm.

You may need to apply it a little more frequently. But what’s that small inconvenience for the reassurance of knowing that you’re protecting precious young skin from damaging rays in a safe, non-intrusive way?
