Formaldehyde and Baby Shampoos

A student where I teach told me about formaldehyde in baby shampoos.  I personally could not believe a company would put formaldehyde or a formaldehyde producing ingredient in any product, so I decided to research the subject.  Apparently there are baby shampoos that still use these ingredients.  For an article on the subject, please see the article on Contaminated Baby Products by The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.  In answer to this concern, the Chemical Institute of Canada had an interesting article entitled Crunch the Numbers.  My concern about this article is that they talk about the intake of formaldehyde particles for average individuals.  Let us say that a woman weighs 100 pounds (45 kilograms) and a man weighs 150 pounds (68 kilograms).  What happens to that math if you are talking about a baby that weighs 1/10th that amount.  For example, when our son came out of his second open heart surgery, he was 20 pounds (9 kilograms) and received a prescription for a 200 pound (90 kilogram) man.  What would be the effect of that if my wife had not caught the mistake?  I believe that the weight of the individual needs to be taken into consideration on any calculation that involves toxicity to an individual.  Please keep your child/children safe and choose products wisely.  We all are effecting the health of our children and grandchildren by the choices we make when they are young.

I would commend any company to remove any formaldehyde producing ingredients.  Products that are self preserving (no harmful chemicals added to preserve the product) are even better.  There is a line of products I do use that meets this criteria.  If you have a friend who has a product that meets this criteria, ask them about it.  Otherwise, send me an e-mail at [email protected] and I will tell you what I use.

Have a great day and take good care of yourself and your children.
