When shopping for products for ourselves and our little ones, we often trust that what’s on the shelves is safe. However, many everyday products—including baby essentials, skincare, and household items—contain materials and ingredients that raise concerns. While regulations exist to guide product safety, not all materials are created equal, and some may be more suitable for families seeking a cleaner lifestyle.
At Fox & Cub Family Wellness, we take the guesswork out of shopping by carefully curating high-quality products that meet a higher standard for materials and ingredient integrity. Our goal is to offer parents peace of mind by featuring items that align with a mindful, intentional approach to health and well-being.
Common Ingredients & Materials to Be Mindful Of
1. Synthetic Fragrances & Dyes
Many personal care products, detergents, and baby wipes contain synthetic fragrances and artificial dyes. These additives can be made from a blend of undisclosed chemicals, which may be irritating to sensitive skin. Choosing fragrance-free or naturally scented alternatives can be a great option for those looking for gentle products.
2. Plastics in Baby & Household Products
Certain plastics, including BPA, phthalates, and PVC, have been widely discussed in relation to food storage containers, baby bottles, and even toys. While regulations have limited the use of some of these materials, being mindful of plastic content in everyday items can be a way to make intentional choices.
3. Harsh Preservatives & Stabilizers
Preservatives help extend the shelf life of personal care products, but some formulations contain parabens or formaldehyde-releasing preservatives. These ingredients can be found in lotions, shampoos, and even baby wipes. Opting for more transparent ingredient lists can help families choose products that align with their preferences.
4. Foam Fillers in Mattresses & Furniture
Certain types of foam, including polyurethane foam, can contain flame-retardant chemicals. While these chemicals are meant to meet safety standards, some families prefer alternative materials such as organic cotton, wool, or latex in their sleep and nursery products.
