Did you know that Johnson + Johnson (synonymous with baby care) reported to the FDA all the way back in the 1970’s that their talc based products contained NO asbestos.
But it did. In high amounts. In 3 different independent lab tests.
They were ordered to pay $72 million in damages re a lawsuit for their product being the causing of ovarian cancer. This was overturned due to jurisdiction issues however towards the end of 2018 there were 11k lawsuits against Johnson + Johnson for the same claims and they have paid at a min of 4 BILLION in settlements.
They had long known about the asbestos contamination of their baby powder and the resultant risks it posed for users yet chose to keep that information hidden from the public for decades.
And that’s just their baby powder..
Johnson & Johnson also settled a $2.4 million class-action lawsuit against claims that its baby wash wasn’t as “natural” as it was purported to be.
When the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics tested hundreds of personal and baby care products to determine whether they contained potentially dangerous chemical compounds that weren’t listed on product labels, the organization discovered formaldehyde and 1,4 dioxane — two chemicals that have been linked to cancer, skin irritation, and other issues — in dozens of conventional baby products.
This is just one brand marketed towards our babies and children. I don’t have enough space here to list the others.
So what’s the point?
Parenting is hard enough without the constant concern of what we put on their skin to moisturise, to heal and keep their largest barrier happy and healthy.
Don’t add to your long list of worries - use tallow!
Our tallow doesn’t hide behind fancy green washing, big words that you can’t pronounce as ingredients and literally has 0 hidden nasties or fragrances.
Just organic tallow and pure essential oils if you request them.
That’s it!
