Wouldn't you just rather err on the side of caution when it comes to your kids health and find products that contain only ingredients that are known to be 100% safe? Seems like a no brainer to me, so i will always err on the side of caution when it comes to bathing my little ones. There are enough toxins that are unavoidable in the environment, who needs to add them to the bath?

exactly, I hate the argument "but there are only trace amounts" -why is there any amount of toxin to begin with. Such diversionary language.

Show REAL data. This is nothing but a hysteria-driven pledge drive for EWG.

Amazing, what financial ties can do to distort the truth. If I dropped arsenic into a baby's mouth each day - well, it's only a drop following their logic. But I think we all know that the results are caustic. Calendular/olive oil soap worked wonders for both my kids. No need to toxic soup.

Organic means made from all natural products. If you can't pronounce the words on the label, then why bother. Many of the health problems we face is caused by industrialization. My advise, just buy organic and not worry about it. Mother nature gives us everything we need, why do we need to make things in chemical plants anyway? Arkansas and experience the organic difference.

Organic is all natural, so why not just buy organic? If you can't pronounce the items on the label then maybe it means it is synthetic. I don't like buying things made in a chemical plant, I would rather have things made from the sap of mother nature. So it will go on making more thing and not hurt our family or the environment.

take into account that babies are highly more sensitive to trace levels of chemicals than adults are. Plus, babies are still developing most of their critical biological functions, so any damage done now will express itself more strongly down the line. I like how they interview a lobbyist who says "I'd give it an F because they named the culprits", and what political agendas does EWG have that this lobbyist doesn't?
