Take Care With Skin Products
Healthy Kids Skin
What you apply to your and your children’s skin can be absorbed into the body, affecting skin health, hormones, and the immune system. Avoid products containing SLS (a foaming agent that disrupts the skin barrier) and phthalates (chemicals that make plastic soft and are found in many body care products, often labeled as "fragrance").
To minimise exposure:
- Use minimal body care products for young children
- Clean with water and a small amount of natural, organic soap
- Use organic lotion for dry skin or nappy rash
- Avoid bubble baths and unnecessary shampooing; older children can wash their hair every 1-2 weeks as needed
Healthy Kids Skin Recommendations
The EWG provides lists of safe moisturisers, baby lotions, and shampoos. Opt for organic and chemical-free brands like EcoStore.
