Now It’s Even in Baby Lotion

Not long ago, I discovered I was poisoning my baby.

It wasn’t intentional. In fact, I thought I was doing everything right.

But then she developed a rash…

At first, I thought it was an allergy, but it wouldn’t go away.

I suspected it was eczema, so I took her to the pediatrician. He confirmed my diagnosis and recommended heavy ointments and creams to keep her moisturized.

The creams would improve her condition a little bit for a couple of days. But the rash kept coming back and getting worse.

Look at the ingredients on just about every skin product on the market, from moisturizers to sunscreens to shampoos and you’ll find health-threatening chemicals–propylene glycol, parabens, PABA, PEG, and mineral oil.
