We're finding that a great place to start is to sit down with a few of your favorite products and log on to (the already mentioned) Skin Deep (http://www.cosmeticdatabase.com/), a searchable database that tells you about the ingredients in your product, and suggests healthier alternatives. Next time you go shopping, you can buy a much healthier alternative.

Feel free to contact me if you would like more information about Belli. I'd be happy to chat with you more or put you in contact with one of our founding physicians. At Belli,we have known about the risks of xenoestrogens (phthalates) for several years, and we're able to use that information to help formulate our products. Our Belli Baby collection contains only natural fragrances, and is completely free of phthalates. In fact, Belli Baby goes a step further by excluding ALL known xenoestrogens for our formulations. We're also the only brand in the WORLD that teratology screens our pregnancy products to avoid ingredients linked to birth defects. This is why we are #1 ob/gyn recommended. We are the safest skin care for mom and baby, no one can match our ingredient screening processes. Here is just some brief info.

My 19 month old inherrited his dad's dry skin and i use lotion on him twice a day. At night he gets his lavender lotion which has been pushed as relaxing...now I find out it may make him sterile?!? it's bad enough we had to worry about lead in toys and plastics leeching chemicals to the point where I am leery of every sippy cup - but now the lotion I have been using on him is dangerous?! How do we know what ingredients to look for? What brands to avoid? How do we find phthalate-free products? No one tells us that - just not to use lotion. Not helpful at all. This is frightening!
