about

Heyo.
I love my life because I believe that I live my life to the fullest and cherish every moment of every day (despite how boring some days may be =P).
I am only 17 (going on 18), but have grown more and learned more than some people a whole lot older than me. I have gone through many chapters of my life and also changed like a chameleon, but believe that I have finally found my color. Despite any religious background someone might have, I just give my advice through advice I have been given by reading the bible, listening to peoples problems (you learn alot of things by listening to your own advice), and also listening to public speakers of many aspects.
I am not here to be a hypocrite or as a person has once said *to promote my site*, but I am more so here to help.
I believe that I have a talent for giving advice to people. I do not take personal offense to anything someone may say because I believe everyone is entitled to there opinion as I have been as well.
My promise to you, even all those that I may not know, is to be honest and use my past experiences and knowledge to help you through whatever you may be going through from problems at home to how to make a delicious cake frosting =D
I hope that all I say may help you, but if it does not, do not be upset or resentful, just keep looking for the answer that you may be searching for. Afterall, If I dont state it, it may have been in front of your face the entire time.

With love,

advice

Ok, so my hair stylist told me I shouldn't use baby shampoo on my kids. She claims that tear-free soaps and shampoos contain Novocaine or something similar.

Now, I'm no fool. I go home, first thing I do is read the ingredients listed on the bottle of shampoo. Nowhere do I find Novocaine, or any other "caine" type of ingredient.

So I tried looking it up online. Someone asked it on Yahoo Answers and said it also contains formaldehyde.
What the...? Come on! Give me a break, already, ok?

I'm not very internet savvy, so that's the best I could come up with. So please don't tell me to Google.

I don't need to have this concern about the soap that goes into the eyes, noses, ears, and sometimes mouths of my children!

Please! Somebody give me a FACT.
Solid Fact.

Links to reliable sources GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Don't worry that you may do looking for nothing- I do rate accordingly.

Thanks for your help...

Hey, I researched your question and found a link that will tell you about something called "Phthalates" that are possibly present in some baby care products.

In the website you will learn what exactly phthalates are (chemical compounds used to soften plastics in household products, cars, & plastic bottles) and the research of its presence in not only the actual product, but also the package or bottle the product comes in. The website will also give you animal study results about phthalates.

On the second page, you can read about how to learn whether certain products have these chemicals, which is by going on to a brand's particular website to see if it contains any phthalates or closely related chemicals. For example, if you are wondering about Johnson's brand, simply go to a search engine, type in "Johnson's" etc. and it should give you the actual website, there you will be able to find the ingredients list in their products. The reason you may not have seen novocaine or phthalates on the bottle is because it is not by law required and is allowed to be listed under the general term "fragrance". You also mentioned that it may contain Novocaine or other things, and the brand's website will tell you if it does in fact include those things.
Here is the website and don't forget to go onto page 2.

If this is not enough information please feel free to ask for more, I can always look up more information for you if you need it, this type of stuff is serious, especially when it comes to little babies.
With Love,
Kori
