I came accross an article from USA Today and found out that pretty much ANY and ALL commercial baby products are dangerous! I will paste the article below-

Please check below to see if you use Johnsons and Johnson, Baby Magic, L'Oreal Kids, Suave, Aveeno, Huggies, Pampers, or any of the other products listed!



This could save a child's life and keep them from suffering any more from skin conditions and allergies. We do NOT sell anything at all but simply offer HOPE and share where we shop for our groceries. I would be glad to share some information about our awesome company where hundreds of thousands of parents shop everyday for groceries and necessities that are WAY LESS EXPENSIVE than Sam's Club, Costco, and Wal-Mart!!!!! Email me back at happyfamily4you@yahoo.com for more information.

Here is our source-USA Today article with all of the details.

Products tested



A new study from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics found that many baby bath products contain formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, which are both linked to cancer and skin allergies. The campaign notes that products with formaldehyde levels over 500 parts per million require warning labels in Europe, although not in the USA.



While all of the following products were tested for 1,4-dioxane, only 28 were tested for formaldehyde.
