Fox News came out with a report about chemicals being in baby products, on my quest for chemical free makeup and stumbling across Safe Cosmetics.org. I already knew about Phthalates. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,328007,00.html I'm just passing on info to anyone who cares that we do in fact absorb chemicals through our skin and so do our children. The FDA has no regulations on what junk is put in our beauty products. I have the link listed to the cosmetic database that shows tons of info on brands, products and ingredients and what they rate as a potential hazard risk. It's extensive but if you wonder if what you're putting on yourself or your baby is safe, you can look up specific products and they give you details. They also have lists of companies and products that are low or no hazard.
For the heck of it I'm also giving the link to some info about tea tree oil. I got some last year for foot fungus and it has many uses. Just a random tidbit for you. :) Hey I figure if this helps one person it's worth my soapboxing. http://www.socal.com/artman/publish/printer_450.shtml

Hey there - have you ever looked at Arbonne make-up? It's "natural" make-up and I actually sell it...no wait, I think I have to pay to buy again, but I love it. I use the eye-cream. I really don't know much about it - other than I buy the butt-paste for the kids - it's natural stuff. Let me know if you've heard bad things about it. :-)
