Reporter and the fantastic four is taking on her most serious role yet, warning moms about what she says are the dangers of toxic chemicals in every products he use. Addresses all those. I had an allergic reaction to a baby laundry detergent. Reporter she became concern when had she was pregnant. Im an adult, who knows whats going to happen with my baby. I did research and found out there are a lot of toxic chemicals in every day products and i was more horrified to find out there were toxic chemicals in Baby Products. Because it has healing properties. Reporter albas concern propelled her to be people avoiding synthetic chemicals. She met an author who wrote a guide back. I asked him, what products do i buy. Well, this company does that one thing, and this company does that one thing. Gosh, why isnt there a company that does everything. So stressful. Reporter they created honesty company. This is the headquarters . Yes. Reporter a mail order business using ingredients they say are safe and tested unlike conventional products. The Raw Materials inside the products, they dont have to report them or prove they are safe. Do you want almonds . Reporter they are not alone.

Reporter we grew up with the brands still in the Grocery Stores today. If a product is in the store, you want to think its safe. You assume that its safe. I think people you outsource your trust to retailers. Unfortunately they we dont have the regulation in place to hold Chemical Companies accountable for the toxic chemicals in products. Reporter but how much does it cost to live a chemicalfree lifestyle . Advocates say it can be done on a normal budget. Were going to target and ill show you the areas with the natural selections.

When you see on tv an advertisement, picking up, wiping down their childrens toys, okay, so it must be okay, it must be safe.

Its found in a lot of personal care products, from deodorant to Baby Products, but also in antifreeze. Reporter the lotions dont make the cut either. Fragrance in lotion, its a nono. Theyre qualified as trade secret in the industry of personal care. So a company doesnt have to disclose whats in a fragrance. The reality is that can be 150 more ingredients on this label. Reporter but is all this concern an overreaction . U. S. Manufacturers say their products are safe. According to the american chemistry council, more than a dozen federal laws govern the manufacture and use of chemicals. And chemistries in every day products are being used safely. Many people agree. Right now im cleaning the mirrors and using windex. Its a product i have used and my mom used it. I keep using it.

These are conventional products that i get at a Big Box Store that are Cost Effective and keep my house clean. Ive never looked at the label for this. So and to be honest, i dont care.

We have been looking for carefully at connections between exposures to toxic chemicals in early life and bad developmental outcomes in children. The research is saying we need more research, if anything. And right now even though the research is ongoing, we dont have a lot of conclusions. Its reasonable to be confident that the products in the stores are safe. They shouldnt be worried about trace chemicals or lowlevel risks. Reporter jessica alba isnt waiting.
