Never buy these unsafe products for your baby

What is the best and safe baby product?

Did you watch the movie Tinkerbell? It says, 'when a baby laughs for the first time, a little fairy is born'. That's a sweet thought, isn't it? Babies are the most wonderful creation of nature. They are soft and delicate. So why should we put them in danger by overlooking and blindly trusting whatever is sold in the market?

Harmful chemicals in skincare & bathing products

We strongly believe those baby products are the most delicate ones. I have seen, some young women apply these products to get a soft and supple skin. But it is a lamentable truth that even the most popular brands have harmful chemicals in their baby product.

List of bad chemicals - Sodium hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Paraben, Isopropyl Palmitate, Dimethicone, Alcohol, Mineral Oil, and fragrance are some of the bad chemicals that are included in baby products.
Other chemicals are polyethylene, polyethylene glycol, sodium laureth sulfate, ceteareth, oleth, oxynol,- xynol, PEG, triclosan, 1,4 dioxane, Oxybenzone, and Formaldehyde are all harmful and toxic chemicals found in many baby products.

These chemicals were first used several years ago, and later on, scientists found them to be toxic and harmful through various test results. In spite of the fact, most companies are still using those ingredients. These chemicals cause severe diseases such as cancer, asthma, a neurodevelopmental disorder, fertility problems.
It is advisable to avoid baby products which contains too much of the chemicals listed.

Why are mineral oil and fragrance harmful chemicals?

Mineral oil may sound like a very healthy ingredient but it is not. It has cancer-causing agents according to WHO. It is a colorless, odorless oil made from petroleum. 
On the other hand, fragrance added to every product is a mixture of at least 14 harmful chemicals.  The companies never disclose the ingredient list behind the term 'fragrance'.  A sweet fragrance in baby products might be very attractive but it is equally harmful. Rather more harmful for your baby.

Which baby product should I buy?


Consult your doctor before experimenting anything on your baby's gentle skin. Always check the expiry date before you purchase. It is better to buy products that have been manufactured recently.
Do not use newly launched products on your baby. Buy organic products for your toddler.
Good and safe chemicals in baby products - However alcohol is bad for skin, Cetyl Alcohol and Stearyl Alcohol are good chemicals. Milk protein, hydrolyzed rice bran protein, titanium dioxide are all good chemicals, that cause no harm to the baby's skin.
Some of the best brands for the baby product are :
  1. Attitude Baby
  2. Babytime Episencial 
  3. Baby Mantra
  4. California Baby
  5. Earth Mama Angel

Gold fascinates both men and women from ages. It is the symbol of purity, culture, and sophistication. From the empires and empresses of middle age to the 21st-century men and women, gold has gifted everyone with its beauty. Unfortunately, as they say 'all that glitters isn't gold'. Hence, proves to be true with gold jewelry these days. You might pay good cash for your gold but unknowingly you fall into the trap of the jewelers. Here are a few strategies that one should follow to buy gold jewelry. As pure as gold: How much pure is it actually? Gold is a very soft metal. Its purity is measured in a karat. The purest form of Gold is 24 karat, that is 100%  or 99.99% gold. It is not possible to make jewelry of 24 karats pure gold because gold is very soft in this form.
