Chemicals to avoid in personal care products
At The Tot, we never use or recommend anything that hasn’t passed The Tot Test. This means we’ve looked deep into third-party testing, examined ingredients lists and asked in-depth questions about a product’s composition to ensure it doesn’t contain any of the ingredients we avoid.
When it comes to personal care products, especially ones that will be used during and after pregnancy, it’s important to avoid chemicals such as:
- Synthetic fragrance (avoid words like ‘parfum’ and ‘fragrance’)
- PEGs
- Parabens
- Phthalates
- Harmful preservatives (like formaldehyde)
- Petrochemicals (like Mineral oil)
- GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) ingredients
- SLS & SLES
All known to cause both short and longterm health concerns, they can enter a woman’s bloodstream and potentially harm their baby or infiltrate their breastmilk.
