When it comes to caring for your new born, you want to give them the best start possible. Many of us don’t even realise the amount of chemicals our little ones are exposed to right from birth...
When you think about how sensitive a baby’s skin is, it seems absurd to lather them in wipes and lotions that are filled with chemicals. Yet, many mainstream baby products which flood the advertising channel are laden with chemicals. In animal studies, the effects of common chemicals used in skin care can be seen to interact with cell signalling and hormone modulation. In a nutshell, research does suggest that exposure to common household and skin care chemicals can increase the chance of ‘dis-ease’ (a state in which the body is not in perfect harmony and functioning optimally). In regards to your baby, commercial baby wipes can increase the risk of allergic skin conditions. The bottom line when it comes to looking after yourself and your family is, why risk it? There is never going to be a case controlled study in which one participant uses commercial skin care products against one who only uses organic and natural skin care, with the effects measured over a lifetime. Therefore, doesn’t it just make sense to choose natural skin care?
If you weren’t convinced already, here are 5 reasons to use natural baby care products
Baby wipes and facial wipes
Baby wipes are used multiple times daily to cleanse in between nappies, wipe food and muck from faces and hands etc. Even for adults, facial wipes are often used daily to remove make-up or freshen up on the go. Therefore, baby wipes are among the highest contributor of chemicals. Start by swapping your commercial products for toxin free baby wipes and natural and organic make up wipes such as JAK Organics baby wipes with coconut, jojoba & calendula oil, JAK Organics aqua wipes - 99.9% purified water & chamomile or Wotnot biodegradable baby wipes. They are perfect for your baby's everyday life. Likewise, your skin is just as important and use of toxic containing wipes to remove make up daily can be equally harming. Eco concious brands such as Acure, JAK Organics and Wotnot have developed natural face wipes with certified organic ingredients to cleanse, soothe and hydrate. We love JAK Organics face wipes with coconut oil, rose hip oil & jojoba seed oil, Acure Seriously Soothing Micellar Water Cleansing Toweletes and Wotnot facial wipes for normal/sensitive skin. For those with more sensitive skin, we recommend Wotnot facial wipes for dry/sensitive skin or Acure Brilliantly Brightening Coconut Cleansing Towelettes for acne prone skin.
NEWS FLASH!
Here is a list of the most common chemicals found in baby wipes and adult facial wipes/make up remover wipes. You can search these ingredients in research papers to learn more about the damaging effects.
Therefore think twice before you rech out for baby or face wipes, especially the cheap ones. Whilst you may save few $$, this could be costing you a lot more, healthwise in the long run. You got to weigh up pros and cons and what's important to you.
