Manufacturers Who Use BPA are Getting Scared

Posted on: May 31, 2009

Filed Under Articles, Bisphenol-A | 4 Comments

There’s been a bevy of articles floating around this week about meetings being held by manufacturers of cans and soda products. They’re concerned because of the public concerns regarding Bisphenol-A (BPA). Including the makers of Coca-Cola and Campbell. If you aren’t already aware, soda cans as well as the majority of canned food is lined [...]

My 3 year old is finally potty trained, so swim diapers are now a thing of the past… oh wait, I’m having another baby in 6 weeks, my diaper days are not over. Swim diapers were one thing that, although required by public pools and useful for water play are yet another thing we stuff [...]

Review & Giveaway: Dimpleskins Naturals Bum Bum Balm Diapering Salve

I’ve been lucky that my son doesn’t really get diaper rash often (and let’s hope his new baby sister follows suit on that) but when he does, anything with zinc in it tends to irritate his skin more. We also cloth diaper, and while I do use disposables on occasion, I need something that I [...]

Red Velvet Cake without the FD&C Red Dye #40

I don’t usually post food recipes on SafeMama, as you may well know but I had to share this one. One of my girlfriends loves Red Velvet Cake. I never really had it and from what I could tell, what made it “red velvet” was red food coloring. I love to bake but never did [...]

Review: Erbaviva Natural Sunscreen

When I started revamping the Sunscreen Cheat Sheet for this season I always had “kids” in mind for trying out products. Never did I think I’d find one that I love more for myself than my kids. I’m not a sun worshiper (and if I could go back to my teenage years and slap some [...]

Review: Bumkins Dr. Seuss SuperBibs

I have friends and family who have been using Bumkins SuperBibs for years. Only until I won a cool giveaway from Bumkins did I get the chance to try them out. Bumkins bibs are made in the USA with a soft waterproof fabric. They are in fact soft like they claim and have a “catcher” [...]

FAQ: What’s The Deal With Play Sand?

It’s warmer out now and outdoor play is coming to the forefront. Nothing like a good romp in the sand box right? Well, maybe not. Now before you shoot me… I’ve been chewing on this answer for sometime and actually, our friend Katy from Non Toxic Kids did a great article about play sand last [...]

FAQ: Why Isn’t Blue Lizard on your Sunscreen Cheat Sheet?

Posted on: May 13, 2009

Filed Under FAQ, Skin Care | Comments Off

Pin It

We get this question often. I think mainly due to the fact that the EWG has it rated in their Top 10 recommended brands. It’s true, Blue Lizard doesn’t use oxybenzone like many other brands but the sunscreen ingredient isn’t what has kept it off our Safer Sunscreen Cheat Sheet the last 2 years. Below [...]

FAQ: Why Aren’t Arbonne Baby Products on Your List?

I can’t tell you how many times we’ve gotten this question: I love the Arbonne ABC Baby care line and wondered why their products are not listed on your site as they are pure, have no animal by-products etc., ? Edit: Since the publication of this article I have been sent an updated list of [...]
