Health Rant #1 of 1zillion: baby products....seriously?

So, here's health rant #1 of 1zillion: baby products...seriously?!

So here's what started all of this....

When I was a child, my mom would always MAKE baby wipes when we went to baby showers together and would include the recipe as part of the gift....I thought it was a bit strange, but my mom does unique, strange, yet, awesome things....I thought this was one of them.

I have had a lot of friends, my sister-in-law, and my sister have babies in the last 7 years or so....I have vested interest in babies...and besides, they are our future!

And then, Daniel and I bought a new car, and part of the "vow" to keep it clean, I suggested keeping baby wipes in the car so we can wipe up any smudges, spills, stains, stickiness, etc.  immediately instead of "finding time" to clean later (part of the "routine" resolution).  So, as I always do, I checked the ingredients on the baby wipes...(I know how bad certain toxins can be, especially parabens and such.  I use paraben free makeup, skin care, shampoo/conditioner....I am pretty careful about avoiding them for a REASON....cancerous tumors are primarily made up of parabens....so you really don't want to put carcinogens ON your skin to be absorbed...or simply made into skin cancer for that matter! ) So....bringing it all back, I checked the ingredients on the "sensitive" wipes because I often get rashes from harsher cleaners.  There were not 1, but 2 types or more, of parabens IN THE WIPES!  WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU PUT CARCINOGENS IN BABY WIPES!?  For CRYING in the MUD!  Now, this doesn't mean that you, your kid, or anyone you know will develop cancer from baby wipes, but seriously, this is something to consider....I don't want them on MY skin, why would I touch them in order to put them on my child's!?  

So to continue my mother's intuitive awesomeness, I am posting my google search for homemade wipes...the first 4(at least) check out good...keep in mind, if you choose to do this, please buy good lotions and oils....every skin product I own, I have checked carefully...be careful, parabens sneak in everywhere(ethylparaben, methylparaben, polyparaben, etc.)!  My essante site has some great essential oils and baby products(lotion, baby wash, etc): essante site      google search   
Even a vitamin E oil that I had purchased for my cuticles had parabens in it...deoderant, soap, lotion, shampoo, etc. are often likely to have parabens and many other toxins.  To find out more about those kind of toxins, please watch this video....it can also be found on the bottom of my essante site(link above) listed as "the toxic truth".  

Thanks for reading health rant #1 of 1zillion....tune in next time for something that excites me...positively or negatively....
