Bath and Hygiene Essentials
For the Whole Family

Soft, gentle and safe--The whole family needs assurance that the products used for hygiene and cleanliness are healthy and safe as well as gentle, soft and naturally fragrant.

We at KidsOrganics research, recommend and purchase products whose ingredients are found wholly in Nature.

Look for products whose ingredients can be grown in your or a neighbor's garden. Avoid products that have "artificial fragrances or colors", as these are petroleum based (yes, Uncle Jed--bubbling crude!). You may be surprised to find that many ingredients in familiar products, are not very humane and/or environment friendly at all. Refer to Toxic Chemicals in Everyday Products, to view a list of products we recommend you avoid putting on your skin or into your bodies.

Arm yourself with education, you will find yourself shopping wiser and healthier.
