The discouraging part is that we have to even think about this. OK, I'm reading an ingredients label and I see long chemical names. These are not “organic” products. If I don't understand the ingredient, then it's not natural or organic.

Plants are natural and organic, not “derived” from ingredients. If you can't understand the name, if it's a multi-syllable chemical name, it's not natural or organic.

Thanks for sharing this Alicia! I know how maddening all the ingredient talk is and I've come to learn that even the brands I once trusted contain things I'd not think of approving now. Another great resource is Stephanie from Bubble and Bee's Chemical of the Day blog: http://chemicaloftheday.squarespace.com

She is who I ask first when I have questions about weird ingredients.

This is great! I will definitely check into those links when I get back on the computer. You are a simply wonderful resource. I even mentioned you and gave the site address to a friend over the weekend.

It really isn't fair to the consumer that we have to be THIS vigilant to not bring toxins into our homes, or into our baby's bathtub!
