Many people want to remove toxins from their lives. One way is through buying toxin-free personal products such as shampoo and body wash. Toxins can enter your body through the skin, making toxin-free skin care and beauty products attractive. One "clean" product you may be looking for is an organic shampoo for children.
Organic
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, or USDA, National Organic Program originated from the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990. The National Organic Program set guidelines for organic food and other organic products. These standards are also enforced by the USDA so you can be certain that a shampoo bearing the "Certified Organic" logo is truly organic. Certain baby shampoos contain some organic and sustainably grown essential oils and plant extracts, but not solely organic ingredients.
Common Ingredients
Organic shampoos do not contain chemicals, synthetic additives, harsh detergents, artificial dyes and other toxins. Instead, according to the website infantstoddlers.suite101.com, they are free of pesticides and contain organic and natural ingredients such as plant derivatives from aloe vera, coconut and palm, soap bark and herbal blends, including extracts from cactus, Irish moss, and pansy. Scents range from unscented to lavender and chamomile to tangerine and vanilla. These gentle and natural ingredients help to prevent irritation.
Brands
Certain brands provide a wide array of organic products. For example, Lafes, Nature's Baby Organics and Organic Blessings make organic shampoos specifically for children.
Where to Purchase
You can find organic shampoo for children at a variety of stores such as Target, Babies R Us, and Whole Foods Market. Additionally, purchasing it online is easy and convenient. It is accessible on a variety of websites from target.com to babiesrus.com.
Price
Prices depend on the brand and the container size. Target priced Nature's Baby Organics shampoo at $8.95 for an 8 oz. bottle while Babies R Us sells the 8 oz. bottle for $9.99. If you prefer a larger 16 oz. bottle, the cost is $16.95 at Target. California Baby shampoo costs $11.49 for an 8.5 oz. bottle at Babies R Us and $19.99 for a 17.5 oz. bottle.
