Busy moms and dads take note!Have you or your child developed any mysterious rash in any part of your bodies?If so ,might as well check the labels of your wet tissues or baby wipes if they are the reasons for all the allergic reactions in the first place.If they are the cause,think twice before you use any baby wipes brand to cleanse your baby's bottom,face or hands.
Baby wipes may look harmless,but these products contain preservatives,among other ingredients,that can harm the sensitive skin of babies.The recent findings warning the public of the preservative MIT(menthylisothiazolione)in baby wipe products that may potentially lead to severe rash for some babies and young children, is just one of them but there is more baby wipes than meet the eyes.
Without exception,baby wipe products are found to contain preservatives of one type or another to products against contamination by micro-organisms or bacteria.Although the European Union countries have banned their usage, on the quiet they have found their way into baby wipes sold at our shores, which is alarming.
