The list, baby wash with active cancer contaminants

http://www.breastcancerfund.org/site/pp.asp?c=kwKXLdPaE&b=2483603 I ran into my bedroom where I keep the baby shampoos and realized I was already using it in the overnighter bag because of it’s small size. Not only do I use one on the list for my baby but also for me!

Steinman’s book explains :

 The new laboratory results reveal the health risks posed by the same petrochemicals.

Women and girls use an average of 12 personal care products daily, according to a 2004 survey conducted by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. The Environmental Working Group’s interactive product safety guide, Skin Deep, allows consumers to find products free of common carcinogenic impurities like 1,4-Dioxane.
