How many PARABENS do you put on your BODY everyday?

Start of each day -

1. Shampoo



2. Conditioner



3. Body Wash



4. Face Wash



5. Shaving Cream



6. Body Lotion



7. Facial Moisturizer



8. Deodorant



9. Hail Gel or other products

*My son also only uses paraben free products

When I thought about it like this, I realized I was layering my skin with PARBENS almost EVERYDAY so some must be getting absorbed? Whether there is or is not a correlation with PARABENS and CANCER (check out my article some posts below), I was ready to change my habits and products to stay on the safe side.

So, with the help of Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupons and their organic section, I slowly converted all my products.

SKIN DEEP - Cosmetic Safety Database (Baby & Mommy Care)

What products are you using to wash your baby, lotion their soft skin and protect them from the sun?
This is a great website where you can look up the BABY CARE products and MOMMY CARE products you are using and how "HAZARDOUS" certain ingredients in them may be. It is unbelievable how much stuff you may be putting on yourself or your baby that could be potentially harmful. I had no idea until I did some research here.
This is definitely worth checking out considering your skin is your largest organ:

Thankfully, I use a lot of California Baby which is rated super low on the 0-10 scale and conveniently sold at Whole Foods.
