“When products for babies are labeled ‘gentle’ and ‘pure,’ parents expect that they are just that,” says Senator Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.). “To think that cancer-causing chemicals are contaminating baby shampoos and lotions is horrifying. I intend to soon introduce legislation requiring greater oversight of our cosmetics industry. We need to ensure that the chemicals that are used in our everyday products are safe.”

We hope Senator Feinstein follows up with this legislation.

It still amazes us that “trusted” products, big name products, the products you see and use every day, are putting 1,4-dioxane (which is a carcinogen, meaning, a cancer-causing agent) and formaldehyde in their products.

One of my favorite blogs, The Mommy Files has a list of products to avoid here.

The good news is that, until this kind of thing is regulated by our government, you have a choice.

Let me introduce myself first. I’m Kristen and I’m a co-founder and VP of FavorCo. Ashley, my sister, is my co-founder and El Presidente (La Presidente?) of the company. We may see her around here from time to time, but to be honest, she’s more of an F2F girl while I am in love with the internet.

The official Favorbaby website will be up very soon and we’ll let you know all about it.

Here, however, on our blog, we wanted to make a space that was less formal and more interactive for our growing group of Favor Moms.

Basically, you can buy our organic skincare line for babies and kids on the website (as well as learn more about us and what we believe)…and here, we can have more fun.

My list of posts-to-blog is enormous, so I’m going to end this little introduction right here and get to the fun stuff.

xx,

Kristen
