FAQ: Phthalate Free Baby Shampoo - Is It Necessary?


Phthalates are found in many household and beauty products, such as hairsprays or shampoo. Recently a question that new moms often ask their pediatricians is, “Is phthalate free baby shampoo really necessary?”  Enough questions about phthalates over recent years have caused new mothers to only purchase phthalate free baby shampoo.  For example, according to a 2005 study by Shana Swan, M.D., of the University of Rochester Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, reported that human phthalate exposure during pregnancy changed an anogenital measurement in the baby boys later born, a change that in rodents exposed to phthalates is associated with genital abnormalities. Because of this, many new mothers are seeking only phthalate free baby shampoo for their infants.  

A baby’s skin is soft, smooth, and extremely sensitive. Regular soaps and shampoos can be harsh, irritating, and drying. They also sting when they get in baby’s eyes. Years of research have led to the development of newer cleansing agents that are less irritating to the skin and the eyes.

All of Belli Baby products are free of phthalates and other xenoestrogens.  Belli Baby Calm Me Hair & Body Wash, a phthalate free baby shampoo, features three of the gentlest cleansing ingredients available, all derived from natural plant sources such as corn and coconut oil. It also contains moisturizing ingredients to leave baby’s skin feeling soft and comfortable.

Calm Me Hair & Body Wash is a blend of ingredients that cleanse and moisturize baby's hair and skin. Features the essential oil of marigold and chamomile, which softens and refreshes. This product is pH-balanced for baby’s skin and tear free.  Apply onto a wet washcloth or hand. Gently massage scalp to wash hair, lather baby and rinse for body cleansing.

Nourish Me Enriched Body Lotion is pure and gentle hydration for baby's delicate skin. Features the essential oil of chamomile, to soften, refresh and soothe.
