    Miessence Freebie for April 

    Mother and Baby Range Pack - Buy One Get One Free

     

    It’s vitally important to use the purest organic and natural skin care products on your babies and children because they are more susceptible to harm from dangerous ingredients in their skin care products than adults.

     

     “Through its review of 23 peer-reviewed studies of cancer incidence from the past 50 years, EPA has determined that infants up to age two are, on average, ten times more vulnerable to carcinogenic chemicals than adults, and for some cancer-causing agents are up to 65 times more vulnerable. The Agency also found that children from age two to 15 are three times more vulnerable to carcinogens than adults.”

     

    In addition, “…the new risk assessment methods show that children accumulate up to 50 percent of their lifetime cancer risk by their second birthday.” Source: Environmental Working Group.

     

    With the increasing incidence of childhood cancers, it’s very wise to make sure you’re doing everything possible to protect your young ones from unnecessary exposure to cancer-causing chemicals.

    New “green” natural skin care product line for baby

    Green Elly is a new natural skin care product line developed for babies. The story goes that this all natural skin care product line for babies was started by Elly’s mom in an effort to use only green and healthy ingredients, that were good for the baby and good for the environment.

    The press release states “Eco-conscious mom turns entrepreneur and launches a full line of natural skin care for infants and children after learning of developmental, reproductive, austism and cancer issues in skin care studies released.”

    I checked the Cuddle Me Clean Foaming Wash and the Cuddle Me Clean Gel Wash. After seeing the ingredients in these two so-called natural skin care products, I didn’t bother checking the rest of the products.

    Here are some of the ingredients in these supposed natural skin care baby products that I find objectionable and the reasons why:

    • sodium metabisulfite - irritant to the skin, eyes and lungs, skin sensitizer, mutagen, toxic to the brain and nervous system, associated with adverse reproductive effects
    • hydrolyzed silk - source of hidden MSG
    • hydrolyzed wheat protein - source of hidden MSG
    • sodium hydroxymethylglycinate - releases formaldehyde, known to cause cancer
    • trisodium ethylenediamine disuccinate - skin irritant, endocrine disruptor, toxic to the brain and nervous system
    • cocamidopropyl hydroxysultane - may be contaminated with carcinogenic nitrosamines, safety has not been adequately investigated.
    • cocamidopropyl betaine - may be contaminated with carcinogenic nitrosamines, may cause allergic reactions
    • PEG-75 meadowfoam seed oil - may be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane
    • diazolidinyl urea - releases formaldehyde, known to cause cancer
    • iodopropynyl butylcarbamate - toxic to humans, may be toxic to the liver or gastrointestinal tract, toxic to the immune system

    Your baby needs to be cleansed and cared for with truly healthy products containing only safe and natural ingredients. The best all natural skin care for your baby’s sensitive skin is 100% certified organic skin care.

    Why your baby really needs REAL natural and organic skin care

     

    In post # 10, I mentioned a number of the harmful ingredients you need to watch out for when shopping for natural skin care for babies. This included the various chemicals like the PEG’s, polyethylene, polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, oxynol and anything ending in “-eth” like ceteareth, myreth, laureth and oleth, which  may contain the cancer-causing contaminant 1,4-dioxane. These ingredients are in many baby skin care products, including those that are said to be natural.

     

    What you also need to know is that infants and children are more susceptible to harm from dangerous ingredients in their skin care products than adults.

     

    “Through its review of 23 peer-reviewed studies of cancer incidence from the past 50 years, EPA has determined that infants up to age two are, on average, ten times more vulnerable to carcinogenic chemicals than adults, and for some cancer-causing agents are up to 65 times more vulnerable. The Agency also found that children from age two to 15 are three times more vulnerable to carcinogens than adults.”

     

    In addition, “…the new risk assessment methods show that children accumulate up to 50 percent of their lifetime cancer risk by their second birthday.” Source: Environmental Working Group.  

     

    With the increasing incidence of childhood cancers, it’s very wise to make sure you’re doing everything possible to protect your young ones from unnecessary exposure to cancer-causing chemicals.

     

    To be sure that you’re using the safest and healthiest products on your child, the best all natural skin care choices you can make are those skin care and body care products that are certified organic by the USDA National Organic Program… and read the ingredients on every product before you buy.

    Best all natural skin care for babies

     

    Shopping for natural skin care for babies can be very confusing and frustrating. The packaging says things like tear-free, gentle, ultra mild, yet the product contains ingredients like

     

    ·         sodium laureth sulfate - a skin and eye irritant that may cause dermatitis; also a penetration enhancer

    ·         various different PEG compounds – eye and skin irritants which are known to contain the cancer-causing contaminant 1,4-dioxane; they’re considered hazardous on large areas of the body

    ·         quaternium 15 – primary cause of dermatitis related to preservatives in skin care products; releases formaldehyde which is known to cause cancer; may cause asthma, respiratory arrest and birth defects; also a skin and eye irritant

    ·         fragrance – may contain hundreds of different chemicals, some hazardous, some cause cancer; considered a trade secret, manufacturers are not required to disclose ingredients

    ·         D&C colors – most derived from cancer-causing coal tar; must be certified not to contain more than 20 ppm of lead and arsenic; certification does not address any other harmful effects they may have on the body

    ·         and more.

     

    You would not expect natural baby skin care to contain harsh and harmful ingredients.

     

    There are many natural brands on the market, but you have to be very diligent and read the ingredients carefully each time you buy because not all so-called natural brands contain truly healthy ingredients.

     

    One of the best natural skin care brand for babies is Miessence. You can feel confident in these Australian natural skin care products for your precious little ones. They contain only the finest organic and natural ingredients. No synthetic preservatives. No ingredients derived from petroleum. No ingredients containing cancer-causing contaminants.

     

    Only the finest organic, natural herbal skin care for your infants and children.
