No Phthalates in Earth Mama Angel Baby
Products
Founder Melinda Olson Pledges Not Now, Not Ever to Dangerous
Chemicals
February 4, 2008 - Clackamas, OR - Representatives
from Earth Mama Angel BabyŽ announced today that none of their products has ever
included phthalates and pledged that the company would never include phthalates
in the future. "Due to the study released today by Pediatrics, I wanted to
reassure all of my customers that Earth Mama Angel BabyŽ has never used any
ingredient containing phthalates. And I promise you, we never will," said
Melinda Olson, founder of Earth Mama Angel BabyŽ, a manufacturer of organic, all
natural products for pregnancy, delivery and baby care.
Olson added that
evidence that phthalates are harmful has been out for some time. "Phthalates are
often hidden on ingredient lists," explained Olson. "Artificial fragrances,
which often contain phthalates, are exactly the type of ingredient that we would
never consider using. We publish on our web site and on every label a complete
list of every ingredient. I believe that our mamas should be able to buy our
products and feel safe using them on their biggest miracles - their angel
babies."
The study in question was released in the February issue of
Pediatrics, and is available online at the publication's website. The research concluded that phthalate exposure was
detected in every baby studied, and that over 80 percent of the babies studied
had exposure to seven or more phthalates. In addition, those performing the
study pointed to use of baby shampoo, lotion and baby powder as the source of
higher concentrations of phthalates in the babies' systems. Even more alarming,
the findings were strongest for babies younger than eight months who may be more
susceptible to developmental and reproductive toxins.
Phthalates are
synthetic chemicals commonly found in PVC plastics, cosmetics, personal care
products (as fixatives, binders and solvents) and plastic toys. Most major
retailers have now banned the use of phthalates in toys and other products sold
for children, because of the exposure as children suck on teething rings and
other toys with the chemicals.
"This study specifically points the
finger at artificial fragrances in personal care products," said Olson.
"Artificial fragrances stay on your skin much longer than pure essential oils -
in part because of the presence of chemical additives such as phthalates. These
are on a long list of ingredients that our company has never, and will never,
use in our products. Manufacturing pure, safe, organic products for mamas and
babies has always been our #1 concern. We encourage everyone to be educated
about what they put in and on their bodies, especially when carrying a precious
new baby."
