Our Favorite Non Toxic Baby Soap

non toxic baby soap

Why is finding a non toxic baby soap important?

Today, baby soaps have fancy labels all over them making more desirable to the new mom with endless decisions in front of her. What they don’t tell you, is the chemicals inside of them to make them smell and feel good are actually harmful to your developing baby. Here is our favorite non-toxic baby soap, which ones to swap out, and a few ingredients to avoid.

Ingredients to avoid:

The word “fragrance” or “parfume” hides thousands of dangerous chemicals like phthalates and parabens that cause damage to endocrine and reproductive organs, are neurotoxic and carcinogenic and impair development in babies & kids. Artificial fragrances are one of the top allergens and increase asthma attacks. (source)& (source)

A synthetic chemical called “sodium lauryl sulfate” (SLS)(link to SLS blog!) is added to most soaps to create “the bubbles” and aids in removing oils from the skin. While kids may love it, studies show the chemical can be a skin irritant, decrease moisture, clog pores, and increase allergens. (source)

Another form is “sodium laureth sulfate” or SLES which could be contaminated with 1-4 dioxane, a well known carcinogen, and should be avoided. (source)

Watch out for those catchy labels!

These are only a few not-so-great ingredients, but they are in almost any store bought soap AND baby soap. They get away with labeling these baby hygiene products “eco-friendly”, “all-natural”, “plant based” and some times even “non-toxic.”

This is called GREEN WASHING. Many of these terms that catch our eye don’t actually have any meaning behind them. The best way to avoid dangerous chemicals is to shop from reputable brands and READ THE LABELS! And when in doubt, go for the fragrance-free option.

Our favorite brands to buy non toxic baby soap from:

  • Earthley Wellness Baby Bar Soap
  • Earth Mama Lavender Baby Soap
  • Babo Botanicals Sensitive Baby Soap
  • Aleavia Prebiotic Body Cleanse
  • Primally Pure Baby Bar Soap
  • California Baby Sensitive Baby Wash
  • Carina Organics Baby Wash

Christmas Trees! ⚠️ The sad: most artificial t Christmas Trees!
⚠️
The sad: most artificial trees are made of PVC plastic which is known carcinogen. Many also include toxic phthalates, cadmium, lead & flame retardants. ALL THIS BECOMES DUST! That babies, kids and dogs walk through for weeks (maybe months!) 

The ugly: many real trees have mold, are sprayed with pesticides & insecticides, and cause allergies. (Unless you buy from an organic farm) 

More ugly: Many string lights are also made of PVC and LEAD (see prop 65 label.) 

The good: No tree is perfect… but…IKEA sells PVC, lead, & flame retardant- free trees! And look for the ROHS label on string lights which monitors hazardous chemical levels. (Balsam hill has trees too $$) 

I wasn’t always into the “watch out for toxins” life. I used to load our tree up with those scent sticks and leave them on the tree all year long in the box. 😂✌🏼Now I get a massive headache every year when we pull out decorations. 

What we’re doing: we got an IKEA tree (because we couldn’t NOT have a tree!) that was PRELIT and was off the floor (because our 1 yr old would for sure try to pull it down 🙃) and WASHED our hands after we decorated and VACCUM often! 

Do you wish I hadn’t shared this info? Lol

Hey! I’ve changed up my page a bit and wanted to Hey! I’ve changed up my page a bit and wanted to re-introduce myself! 
I’m a nurse of 10 years! 
I’ve worked bedside for most of it. I’ve worked with all ages on almost every floor and I’ve specialized in adult oncology & pediatric hematology/oncology.

MY FAMILY♥️
I have two amazing girls (1yr old and almost 4yr old) and the BEST husband of 8 years! You won’t see my girls on here much because I want to protect their privacy, but still want to share all the research I’ve done in motherhood.

HOW DID I GET HERE?📚🩺
Pregnancy & working in the hospital woke me up to how broken our “healthcare” system is. The “treatments” rarely fix you, but instead keep you in the system for life. My heart is to share daily actions that put you & your family’s health first so the “diagnosis” never happens in the first place. I also share holistic remedies our family uses for everyday sickness. (No medical advice 🙃) see about me highlight to learn more! 

I LOVE learning and sharing what I learn so follow along in our journey and thank you to those who’ve been here with me along the way! 
Feel free to drop a comment telling me what you’ve learned from my page or want to see more of! 

And don’t forget, you can tune in on Thursdays for my #thinkaboutitthursday stories where I share controversial medical topics!

I forget how much we use this in our house. I just I forget how much we use this in our house. I just gave it to our 4 year old today when her stomach was hurting her and then I took it for my back pain.

We don’t use Tylenol. 
We have Motrin as a last resort when nothing else works but it’s far from perfect and comes with risk as well. See stories for more!

So this is our go-to and it’s natural!

We take it for pain, inflammation, headaches/migraines, and more. And it actually works🙌🏼

I’m grateful to have something that’s safe for the whole family too. Have you tried it? Grab it TODAY FOR 25% off in my story!
