Understanding Product Labels

There are many baby skin care products that contain claims to help them appear safer. There may be certain labels that might say:

• natural
• hypoallergenic
• organic
• gentle

However, these terms don’t mean much. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for regulating skin care products, however, it doesn’t hold the power to approve products before they make it onto shelves.

Labels To Pick Baby-Safe Shampoo

Here are some certifications or labels that need products to meet certain standards for health, safety, and toxicity. Look out for these when you’re looking to buy your baby’s shampoo.

Made Safe

This is one of the most important designations on the market. Made Safe screens the baby’s products for flame retardants, heavy metals,  high-risk pesticides, carcinogens, endocrine disruptors and many other toxins. Made Safehasa comprehensive Baby & Child product database. 

FDA Approved

An FDA-approved formula follows very strict guidelines for ingredients when it comes to baby products. They also check how they are stored to support a child’s healthy growth and development. 

Made With USDA-Certified Ingredients

If your baby’s shampoo indicates that it is “made with organic ingredients,” it indicates that it contains at least 70% organically produced ingredients. 

Safer Choice

This is a label that is given by the EPA to those products whose ingredients have been assessed by EPA scientists and have been deemed the safest for use.
