28 children’s bath soaps, shampoos, lotions, and

other personal care products tested; considered

known endocrine disrupters—which are also known to

be skin irritants with potentially negative impacts on

the respiratory system, liver, and kidneys

What Are we Putting ON our Kids?

Babies’ skin is 5Xthinner and more permeable than

adult skin, making babies more

susceptible to toxins

FACT: Asthma—Common household cleaners and

appliances may give off fumes that can be

triggers for asthma in children

FACT: Health Risks—Chemicals that can be found in

everyday products that are probably under

your kitchen sink or in your laundry room,

basement, bathroom, and garage are

known to be harmful to children, particularly to

their developing nervous systems and brains

FACT: Poisonings—Chlorine bleach is the chemical

most frequently involved in household

poisonings in the U.S.
