Have You Given Your Kid a Formaldehyde Bath Yet?

They’re at it again.  The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics – the same organization that warned about lead in your lipstick – has set its sights on baby bath products.  Their new report, No More Toxic Tub, found carcinogens in top-selling baby bath products, like formaldehyde (the same stuff that caused the FEMA trailer health debacle) and 1,4 dioxane.  So, while you’re ridding your kid’s toy chest of plastics and throwing out your teen’s hormonally challenging eye shadow, don’t forget to take a close look at your bubble bath.  You can find information on hundreds of common products through The Environmental Working Group at www.cosmeticsdatabase.com.
