Personal care products have become an inseparable part of our daily lives. Even the little children are not alienated to these products as they have sufficient exposure to a number of child care products starting from baby lotions to baby shampoos since birth. Though the parents these days are very careful while choosing products for their little darlings and always consult with the doctors before buying anything, still sometimes they face various issues caused by the ingredients found in the products. It is not always possible for people like us to know everything about the ingredients used in the baby products and their effects on the health of the babies. But sometimes it is not always to consult doctors but at least we should have some basic knowledge about the products so that while buying we can be careful. Check out the following chemicals which are strict no no for your baby:
Mineral Oil: Mineral oil can be harmful for babies. It is a by-product of Petroleum and it covers the skin with a kind of wrap which stops the skin from excreting, absorbing and breathing. It also prevent the process of natural development of the skin cells resulting the skin ageing at a very early stage. You may be surprised to know that the baby oils contain 100% mineral oil and therefore they are 100% harmful for the babies.
Talc: Presence of talc in any personal care products for both babies and adults can be harmful as it can cause testicular or ovarian cancer. It is mostly found in baby powder and baby soaps.
Fragrance: Presence of fragrance in a baby product can be extremely harmful for the kids. Fragrance is one of the most important ingredients available in the personal care products for both kids and adults. But very few of us know that fragrance is toxic, synthetic and can lead to cancer. Frequent exposure to this ingredient can have severe effects on our central nervous system. But unfortunately it is present probably in all types of baby care products like baby shampoos, baby soaps, baby oils etc. and most of all buyers prefer to have it in whatever products they use.
Sodium borate or Boric acid: If we check a few reports we can easily find how harmful boric acid is for the children. People who work in the boric acid producing plants are exposed to heavier risk of decreased libido and sperm count. Many countries have imposed ban on this chemical and many companies have stopped using this in their personal care products. Though it can cause severe skin damage for the babies who have extremely sensitive skin, many companies use this item in their diaper creams.
Phthalates: Sometimes a few chemicals absorbed by pregnant moms can be harmful for their unborn kids. Phthalates is one of those chemicals which can be found in nail polishes. Therefore, nail polishes should be strictly prohibited for the expecting mothers for the sake of their children.
These are some of the common chemicals which are available in all types of personal care products for both babies and adults. Apart from these there are many others including toluene, resorcinol, BHA, animal-based ingredients and others which can be extremely harmful for the babies.
