Natural Hair Care Matters. See What Others Say.
Washington Toxics Coalition tested nine pregnant women, from Washington, Oregon, and California, for chemicals including bisphenol A, phthalates, mercury, and “Teflon chemicals.”
"Results from this study reveal that children spend their first nine months in an environment that exposes them to known toxic chemicals."
"Some studies show correlations between these abnormalities and mothers who have greater exposure to these chemicals during pregnancy, through everything from hair spray to the water they drink."
"'We are not saying if you use a certain product with these ingredients it will cause breast cancer,' Snedeker says. 'But the science suggests your risk may be reduced if you avoid them.' Here are a few ways to play it safe."
" . . .everyday exposures to common chemicals may be increasing our waistlines."
“When a fetus is exposed to phthalates they may cause malformation of the reproductive tract in males and decreased semen quality.”
“A a much cited study showed higher exposure to some phthalates in mothers correlates with reduced 'anogenital distance' in newborn boys.”
“Ingredients in shampoos, dyes and detergents may be mixing up your hormonal signals... By playing havoc with hormones that control reproduction and development.”
"Our babies are being pre-polluted."
“Study: Food packaging, shampoo make it tougher for women to conceive.”
