👊🏽Pound for pound children breathe more air, drink & eat more, and have more skin than adults do. This in itself can lead to increased exposure. ⁠
⁠
👊🏽Children also exhibit increased hand-to-mouth behavior (ie, everything goes in their mouths), and spend more time crawling around on floors, leading to greater ingestion of toxins in dust.⁠
⁠
👊🏽Children’s metabolic capacity and detoxification capacity may not be the same as adults. ⁠
⁠
👊🏽When it comes to environmental exposures children, including in-utero are the most vulnerable. ⁠
⁠
✋🏽So it’s important to NOT continue to overload them with toxic chemicals. These chemicals lead to early puberty, eczema, allergies, asthma, obesity, depression, infertility, autoimmune, and more.

In these products here were a few harmful ingredients👇🏽
❌Disodium EDTA is used as a chelating agent in cosmetics and is also a penetration enhancer, contributes to genetic instability when combined with other chemical mutagens, in addition to inhibiting DNA repair on its own.

❌Ethoxylated Ingredients are a group of ingredients made by the process of ethoxylation in which known carcinogen, ethylene oxide, is reacted with other ingredients. 1,4-dioxane is created as a by product & can be left behind in the product.

❌Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate is a formaldehyde-releasing preservative that can cause skin sensitivity or irritation and is associated with contact dermatitis. Formaldehyde is a carcinogen, neurotoxicant, and causes immunotoxic effects.

❌Benzisothiazolinone is an allergenic preservative that is associated with skin, eye, and lung irritation. It found unsafe for use in cosmetics by the European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS).

❌Cocamidopyl Hydroxysultaine (CAPB) is a surfactant that is associated with allergies and contact dermatitis. CAPB has the potential to form nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic.

What products are you using on your baby? 🫶🏽🤎

Science is proving that skin and hair care product

Science is proving that skin and hair care products are a potential source of toxic chemical exposure that disproportionately affects African Americans. Recently, much debate has focused on this “clean beauty” movement, which promotes the use of so-called natural or organic ingredients, and avoidance of suspected or proven toxic chemicals- but the words clean beauty is sadly just another marketing term. Dove says that they are part of the clean beauty movement.

I’ve known for years how bad Dove was but what’s bothering me is how their new textured line does more damage than the original line further fueling that African Americans are disproportionately affected.

Understand that cancer is not genetic. African American women rank the highest in breast cancer We need to break up with these harmful habits and assuming we are fine.

Does this mean the regular Dove baby is okay to use? Heck no! Avoid Unilever and all their products.

🚫Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) is a surfactant that is associated with allergies and contact dermatitis. CAPB has the potential to form nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic.
🚫Disodium Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is used as a chelating agent in cosmetics and is also a penetration enhancer, meaning it will increase the penetration of other chemicals in the formula. Disodium EDTA contributes to genetic instability when combined with other chemical mutagens, in addition to inhibiting DNA repair on its own.
🚫Polyquaternium-10 is a quaternary ammonium compound and formaldehyde releaser. Acrylamide is toxic to the nervous system and is a probable carcinoge with adverse effects on the reproductive, developmental, and immune systems.
Plus they use synthetic fragrances. 😒

I created a non toxic guide if you want alternatives, or check out my previous posts.

💕If you learned anything or like me was shocked by the extra ingredient known to have adverse effects on reproductive, developmental, and immune systems in the melanin product please consider sharing 🤎

Did you use know any of this about Doves products?

A study conducted by chemical testing lab Bureau V

A study conducted by chemical testing lab Bureau Veritas, commissioned by Ingredients Matter, in the spring of 2022 detected 1,4-Dioxane in nearly all laundry detergents it tested, from conventional brands like Tide and All to plant-based brands like Mrs. Meyers.

Conventional laundry detergents from Arm & Hammer, Tide, and Gain contained more than 3 PPM 1,4-Dioxane.

Other products from Tide's gentler lines (Tide Free & Gentle and Tide Pur Clean) and products from Mrs. Meyers, All, and Method tested between .18 and .4 PPM, making them acceptable under NY State guidelines but still containing some amount of 1,4-Dioxane.

The EPA has classified 1,4-Dioxane as a probable human carcinogen, and New York is one of the first states to ban consumer cleaning products that contain too much of it.

1,4-dioxane is created as a byproduct during the manufacture of ethoxylated chemicals, such as certain surfactants.
These ethoxylates are commonly found in laundry detergents:
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Laureth-6 & Laureth-7
- C12-16 Pareth
- Polyethelene Glycol (PEG)
If it has ethoxylates you’re at risk.

Please make sure you share this information to help encourage someone you know and love to ditch the toxins.

⚠️Why it contains harmful ingredients ⚠️

⚠️Why it contains harmful ingredients ⚠️

232- the average number of chemicals found in umbilical cord blood and 180 of those cause cancer in humans.

Whether or not you know this, we can agree we want the best for our babies.

It’s great to see a company support us and design something for melaninated babies… but at what cost?

The packaging says they are hypoallergenic, created without parabens, dyes, sulfates or phthalates, their baby wash is pediatrician and dermatologist tested.

But don’t let that marketing fool you 🧐

🚫Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are widely used in cosmetics as surfactants, emulsifiers, cleansing agents, humectants, skin conditioners, and to help retain moisture. They enhance the penetration of other ingredients. The concern of PEGs lies in the impurities 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide. which are carcinogenic and associated with reproductive, developmental, and endocrine effects, and DNA damage.

“Your body is precious. It is your vehicle for a

“Your body is precious. It is your vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.” Sis, it deserves the same love and grace.

Yes it’s natural to help a baby, teach them to try again. To console them, to want to take away the pain. What if we took that loving, understanding, that empathy… and applied it to the person we meet in the mirror everyday.

Your body has endured a lot, good bad and indifferent. I know it’s complicated especially on these apps, everyone is telling you to just do this to drop 5lbs, this oil, scrub etc is soooo good and smells yummy. This colorful tea will reduce bloating, this green powder will get your gut right, clear your skin.

Don’t get lost in the marketing, companies spend millions to billions to keep you spending hundreds to thousands.

Please don’t forget just like a baby, you have to crawl before you walk and it’s one step in front of the other. One day at a time. Your gut didn’t become unhealthy overnight, your cravings have meaning, your dry skin is a symptom, endometriosis is a symptom, that itching is a signal and it takes time to reverse what’s been done.

Repairing years of self talk isn’t easy, addressing our relationship with food is difficult, repairing our habits of convenience is hard, understanding that marketing will play us for a fool every time is disappointing, realizing the beauty industry doesn’t care about us is reality.

Yet the beauty is that through it all, know you won’t be perfect, you will fall down. But you can learn new habits and get back up. You can lean into people willing to help and support you that have not just know but experience in the areas you need help.

When you’re ready I’m here to help.

Hazel bear 🐻 thank you for reminding me every day that time is precious and we can learn new things and I hope you know I’m here to support you 🤎

These are just a few illnesses that have symptoms

These are just a few illnesses that have symptoms similar to depression. So you may think you have depression when really it’s something else.

Depression is both an underdiagnosed and overdiagnosed disease. Depression, like all other mental health disorder may be difficult to diagnose because there is no laboratory test, biopsy or imaging test to confirm your suspicion but rather mood disorders and other mental health disorders are diagnosed strictly based on symptom criteria.

Research shows gut microbiota plays a role in depressive disorders and that depressive symptom levels vary across ethnic groups. However these illnesses mimic depression.

🤎Hypothyroidism is an endocrine disorder causing a low metabolism due to suppression of hormones released from the thyroid gland.
🤎Hypercalcemia results from an increased level of calcium in the blood.
🤎Vitamin D deficiency results from inadequate exposure to sunlight, malabsorption.
🤎Type 2 diabetes results from a broken pancreas that is no longer able to make enough insulin to lower the body’s sugar. Type 2 diabetes is often called insulin-resistance diabetes meaning that the body does not respond adequately to insulin and an elevation in blood sugar will occur.
🤎Kidneys (Stones) could be
– Dehydration– Renal Stones– Renal Failure
🤎Bones could be
– Bone Pain– Fractures– Height Loss
🤎Gastrointestinal symptoms could be
– Constipation– Nausea-Pancreatitis– Gastric Ulcer
🤎Psychiatric
– Lethargy– Weakness– Confusion

There is hope even as you work through your symptoms. If you’re not satisfied with the diagnosis you’ve received or the treatment plan, consider getting a second opinion, or get upgraded lab work Also, try to be patient with yourself and the process. 🤎
