Using natural products on my children is something that is very important to me. I want to know what all the ingredients are in a product and know that they are not toxic to my child's health. One of my favorite natural brands that I use for household cleaning is Seventh Generation. There has not been a product of theirs that I tried and did not like. So when I saw that they had come out with an entire line of natural baby bath and body products, I was ecstatic. Granted I technically don't have a "baby" anymore, but these are certainly still good for toddlers and even preschoolers.
About Wee Generation Products
- First complete line of USDA-certified biobased baby care productsThe most importance thing to me when deciding if I am going to use a product on my child is the ingredient list. And of course, Seventh Generation does not leave me disappointed. They list all of their ingredients on the product label and you won't find long lists of complicated chemical names. Just a nice short list of mostly biobased ingredients. I have been using the Foaming Shampoo & Wash on my toddler and the regular Shampoo & Wash on my kindergarteners and I have been very pleased with them both. They lather very nicely and I love the light citrus scent. Too many baby products use lavender, which drives me bonkers, and I am glad they stayed away from that in this line.
- Endorsed by Healthy Child, Healthy World
- Products are gluten-free
- No synthetic fragrances, phthalates, parabens (all ingredients of concern)
- Tear-free, no worries about getting in eyes
- Non-toxic, biodegradable formula
- Made with natural ingredients that come from plants and minerals
- Made with extra-virgin olive oil to moisturize and protect
The Baby Lotion is made with extra-virgin olive oil to moisturize and protect the skin. This also makes it good to use for baby massages. Baby massage is not something I ever tried when my boys were infants, though I really wish I had. Since they were all colicky due to a milk protein intolerance (causes intestinal discomfort and gas), I am sure they could have benefited from them.

ReplyDeleteI think it is important because of their sensitive little skin and the fact that they can't make the choice yet about what they want us to put in their little pure bodies...

ReplyDeleteIt's important to keep their skin healthy and keep bad toxins out of their sensitive bodies.
ReplyDeleteIt is safe and benefits him.
ReplyDeletebecause they all have sensitive skin when they're little!
ReplyDeleteI think it's best to limit their exposure to unnecessary chemicals.
ReplyDeleteAll babies are born with pure sensitive skin, its best to keep it that way, instead of bombarding them with unnecessary chemicals!
ReplyDeleteI am not a chemist so I need products I can trust and understand the ingredients. Also, I think there hasn't been a lot of testing/research on some of the chemicals in common baby products - so I'm not comfortable using them.
ReplyDeleteThey are gentler on baby's skin and less likely to cause an allergic reaction!
ReplyDeletewhy tax a sensitive system with all those chemicals?
ReplyDeleteall the toxins and chemicals that can be soaked in through the skin---its scary enough for me as an adult, but even worse for a little baby!

It's important to avoid chemicals on the skin because they can be absorbed.
ReplyDeleteDon't like the idea of a lot of chemicals on sensitive skin of a newborn.
ReplyDeleteIt is important for me to use natural products with my daughter because I want to protect her from potentially dangerous chemicals in some products
ReplyDeleteI feel like it is the safest thing for my child to limit their exposure to chemicals that can be harmful. That is the same reason I cloth diaper :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the time of their life when the most growth happens so the chemicals that they are exposed to the better. We are lucky we have more information & choices than years ago.
ReplyDeletesensitive skin.. my sweet lo has such tender sensitive skin!
ReplyDeletetheir skin is sensitive and it's best to limit the harse chemicals any way that you can!
ReplyDeleteIt's important to use natural products on babies because their skin can be really sensitive to more abrasive products or products with detergents in them. I don't want to mess with their natural super soft skin! :)
ReplyDeleteThe less chemicals infants & children are exposed to can do nothing but help them
ReplyDeleteI figure the longer we can keep chemicals out of our kids systems the better.
ReplyDeleteI think it's important because natural products are less irritating on baby's sensitive skin. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteTo keep their skin free from chemicals
ReplyDeleteI think it is important because "what goes on you, goes in you". That is true and you don't want chemicals going in or on your baby when it can be avoided.
ReplyDeleteI think that little ones are still growing, and there is some evidence that shows that some chemicals can have a negative impact on growing bodies.
ReplyDeleteI want to make sure no harsh chemicals are touching my baby's skin.

Because my baby has eczema and I have to use gentle and natural products.
ReplyDeleteI think it's smart for both babies and adult to stay away from unnatural chemicals.

Because chemicals aren't good for a baby's skin and my baby, in parfticular, breaks out in a rash with many soaps and baby products. So I'd love to try these products.

In case they have any allergies that you aren't aware of.

I think it's important because babies are more delicate and the chemicals in other products and effect their health more than an adults.

I think it's important to use natural products because I do not want to cause illness or harm to our baby!

Why pump toxic crap into a sweet little baby? They are delicate and should be treated as well as possible. Why cause harm? Chemicals are especially bad for them.
ReplyDeleteI think it's important to limit chemical exposure as much as possible, especially for babies and young children whose bodies might not be able to filter out those toxins as well as an adult.
ReplyDeletecincyangel5 at yahoo dot com
I think it is important as a baby's skin is so sensitive and the last thing you ever want to do is to expose it to any harmful chemicals.
ReplyDeletelauraemerson17 at yahoo dot com
It's important because the skin absorbs what's applied on the skin.
