Timely question...I was reading this article the other day...here is a snippet and the link if you want to read more: Lotions, powders may pose risks to infants Study shows babies vulnerable to hormone-disrupting chemical found in commonly used products Researchers in the United States have found phthalates, a hormone-disrupting chemical used in many plastics and personal care products, in every one of a group of 163 babies they tested. More than 80 per cent of the infants had at least seven different types of phthalates, a finding attributed to the widespread use of baby shampoos, skin lotions, and baby powders that contain the chemical. The researchers, who are publishing their results today in the journal Pediatrics, theorized that the children are absorbing the chemicals through their skin when parents use personal care products on them. It is not known what health risks, if any, these exposures pose, but previous research has found the chemicals are capable of altering reproductive hormone levels in young children exposed through their mother`s milk. One of the researchers who conducted the new study recommended that parents, as a precaution, try to reduce exposures by cutting down on the use of lotions and shampoos on babies. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080204.wplastic04/BNStory/specialScienceandHealth/
