Your baby's delicate skin deserves the safest, most nourishing care. However, many conventional baby lotions contain harsh chemicals and toxic additives that can cause irritation and long-term health concerns. At Simple Steps Market, we go beyond labels and marketing claims to ensure that only the safest, most natural products make it to our shelves.
Why Conventional Baby Lotions Can Be Harmful
❌ Synthetic Fragrances contain undisclosed chemical blends that can trigger skin irritation, allergies, and hormone disruption.
❌ Parabens (Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben) are preservatives that disrupt hormones and may contribute to long-term health risks.
❌ Phthalates (commonly found in fragrances) are linked to reproductive toxicity and endocrine disruption.
❌ Phenoxyethanol, a common preservative, can cause skin irritation and potential endocrine disruption with prolonged use.
❌ Petroleum-Based Ingredients (Mineral Oil) create a barrier that can clog pores, trap toxins, and may contain carcinogenic contaminants like PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons).
❌ BHA & BHT are synthetic antioxidants that can cause skin irritation, hormone disruption, and have potential carcinogenic effects.
❌ Formaldehyde-Releasing Preservatives (DMDM Hydantoin, Quaternium-15, Imidazolidinyl Urea) pose risks of skin irritation, respiratory issues, and increased cancer risk.
❌ Polyethylene Glycol (PEGs) may be contaminated with harmful carcinogens like ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, and can strip the skin’s natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.
Our Standard: What We Choose Instead
✅ Fragrance-Free or Naturally Scented Options using essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances.
✅ Safe Preservatives like ethylhexylglycerin and sodium benzoate to prevent bacterial growth without irritation.
✅ Natural Oils & Moisturizers like jojoba oil, shea butter, and coconut oil to nourish and protect delicate skin.
✅ Non-Toxic, Baby-Safe Formulations free from endocrine disruptors, skin irritants, and harmful chemicals.
Your baby deserves a lotion that is as pure and gentle as they are. By choosing safe, natural products, you’re ensuring the best care for your little one’s sensitive skin.
