eco friendly baby

I heard baby oil is bad for you, what a safe "natural" alternative?
I read that baby oil isn't the best thing for you. I also use it to clean my ferrets ears....so Im worried if it is truly "bad". Is there a safe, more natural, eco-friendly alternative?
(10 Points for the best!)
it is bad it soaks into your blood stream making it hard for you to absorb nutrients. Use olive oil to clean out your ferrets ears. or vegetable oil but olive oil is better.
Eco Friendly Products May Need CoSHH Assessment
It might seem logical to assume that it would be sensible to use eco/environmentally friendly products as much as possible.
However, it is not necessarily the case that products which are essentially safe for the environment are safe and non hazardous for human beings.
Regardless of a products' claim to be eco-friendly, it is still essential that they must have a CoSHH risk assessment. Natural, after all, does not equate to non-toxic.
Indeed, an example of a potentially hazardous environmentally friendly product is the reusable shopping bag which could be dangerous for our health. A micro-biological study in America of earth friendly shopping bags discovered that although these bags are better for the environment than plastic bags, they may be a source of an alarming amount of bacteria, yeast and mould which could make us ill.
The possible dangers of reusable bags include food poising, provoking asthma attacks, allergic reactions, and ear infections.
Adversely, plastic carrier bags may be bad for the environment, but they are actually much more hygienic than reusable ones. This is very much down to the fact that reusable carrier bags are used repeatedly.
The biggest cause of bacteria can come from leaks into the bags from produce bought in supermarkets, and then this bacteria being spread, inadvertently, by staff who are transferring bacteria from one reusable bag to another.
Some companies, do actually claim to produce eco friendly products, but actually they do not. Body care products do not have the same specifications for what is considered 'organic' like food does. There are a small number of differing rules and regulations that manufacturers look at when considering a product to be classed as 'organic', but on the whole, few follow these.
Eco friendly baby care products are containing more and more dangerous chemicals. Chemicals containing BHA, tricolsan and parabens, are not only to the atmosphere but to humans aswell.
A product should not necessarily be deemed safe just because they are labelled as 'natural' or 'eco friendly'. The specific ingredient information should also include titles such as 'solvent free' or 'no petroleum based ingredients' etc.
All products being utilised within the workplace, regardless of whether they are 'eco/environmentally friendly' or 'organic', are still required to have a CoSHH assessment according to CoSHH regulations.
A CoSHH assessment will clearly identify any hazards and dangers associated with the use of a substance and help in the process of risk management for the health and safety of workers. In order to prevent ill health, it is a legal requirement that employers control exposure to dangerous substances within their working environment.

Marlene Sandberg was appalled to learn that babies will produce half a ton of diapers every year. Half a ton! So she sought to create a range of award-winning diapers and baby products which are effective, price competitive, and environmentally friendly--making Nature Babycare products good for both babies and the environment. We are the trusted source for eco-friendly baby products among consumers and the green community. Nature Babycare is leading the industry in Europe by providing mum's with a high-performance diaper that is better for their babies and the environment. Why We're Award-Winning Our diapers and pull-on pants are over 60-percent biodegradable in contrast to major brands which are often composed of up to 80-percent oil-based products which do not decompose easily. Conventional diapers can take hundreds of years to decompose, but because of the high content of bio-degradable material, ours break down in a fraction of that time, meaning there's less need for landfill or polluting incineration. We keep oil-based plastics away from babies delicate skin and use natural, breathable corn-based materials instead. Our patented center-channel reduces the need for bulky absorbent material while enhancing leak protection. Nature Babycare Diapers are 100-percent chlorine-free, protecting the environment by not producing harmful dioxin pollution. All of this combined minimizes diaper rash and other irritations so that your baby is healthy and happy! With features such as stretchy tabs and leg gatherings, a soft cloth-like feel, and non-bulky absorbent pulp, we've created an award-winning diaper that performs ahead of the rest. Our founding principle was to give mum's a high performance diaper that is better for their baby and better for the environment. We strive to use renewable materials whenever possible in all of our product lines. Nature Babycare Diapers offer the convenience of disposables with the most environmentally friendly attributes. What Makes Us Unique Other diapers can claim to be green but still use massive amounts of oil-based plastics. As a mum, our founder knew there had to be a better way to make diapers. That's why we've spent many years perfecting our diapers by eliminating as much non-biodegradable materials as possible while maintaining performance and comfort. We also use an absorbent pulp that is sustainably harvested out of Scandinavian forests. Our diapers are completely unbleached, contain no latex, fragrance, or TBT (tributyltin), and are hypo-allergenic. As with any diaper, for maximum performance, when your baby reaches the upper limits of the weight class, we recommend that you switch to the next larger size.
