Some risky ingredients are found primarily in baby care products, like talc. This familiar base for many baby powders is a possible carcinogen that may cause lung tumors. (more)

Although you’ll rarely see them on the label, phthalates are often a part of the blend of chemicals identified as “fragrance” on a product’s ingredient list. Phthalates have been tied to all sorts of health concerns, including cancer, birth defects, and developmental problems. If possible, it’s best to avoid fragrance entirely—the catch-all term can conceal chemicals tied to allergies, hormone disruptors, and neurotoxins.

Other chemical ingredients to watch out for in baby care products include DMDM hydantoin, a form of formaldehyde that’s a strong skin irritant and immune system toxicant found in a wide range of products, oxybenzone, which causes your skin to more easily absorb other chemicals and is a possible carcinogen (even though it is the primary ingredient in many sunscreens!), parabens, which are common preservatives tied to skin irritation and immune system problems, and petroleum-derived fomaing agents like PEG or cetereath (found in shampoos, bubble baths, and baby wipes) that can be contaminated with the probable carcinogen 1,4-dioxane.

Finally, triclosan, an anti-bacterial chemical found occasionally in baby products, is linked to hormone disruption and is a strong wildlife toxin—it persists in the environment and accumulates in animals and may lead to the development of antibacterial-resistant bacteria.

So, here’s your checklist: look for baby care products without talc, fragrance, DMDM hydantoin, oxybenzone, parabens, PEG, cetereath, and triclosan, and you’ll be off to a healthy, safe start!
